May He support us all the day long, till the shades lengthen, and the evening comes, and the busy world is hushed, and the fever of life is over, and our work is done! Then in His mercy may He give us a safe lodging, and a holy rest, and peace at the last.

John Henry Newman

Such is the constitution of the human mind, that any kind of knowledge, if it be really such, is its own reward.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Knowledge Mind Rewards
When you feel in need of a compliment, give one to someone else.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Esteem Giving Needs Self
Let us put ourselves into His hands, and not be startled though He leads us by a strange way, a mirabilis via, as the Church speaks.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Church Hands Thinking
It’s really not a difficult decision when you reflect on it, … The situation is just so tenuous with where it’s going to hit. You don’t want to take any chances.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Decision Reflection Want
God created you to do him some particular service. He has given some work to you that he has not given to another. You have your mission. You shall do good.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Given Missions Priceless
Thought and speech are inseparable from each other. Matter and expression are parts of one; style is a thinking out into language.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Expression Style Thinking
It is not God’s way that great blessings should descend without the sacrifice first of great sufferings. If the truth is to be spread to any wide extent among the people, how can we dream, how can we hope, that trial and trouble shall not accompany its going forth.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Blessing Dream Sacrifice
Purity prepares the soul for love, and love confirms the soul in purity.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Catholic Love Soul
You must be patient, you must wait for the eye of the soul to be formed in you. Religious truth is reached, not by reasoning, but by an inward perception. Anyone can reason; only disciplined, educated, formed minds can perceive.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Eye Religious Waiting
Egotism is true modesty. In religious enquiry each of us can speak only for himself.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Enquiry Modesty Religious
Faith is illuminative, not operative; it does not force obedience, though it increases responsibility; it heightens guilt, but it does not prevent sin. The will is the source of action.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Doe Guilt Responsibility
Prayer is to the spiritual life what the beating of the pulse and the drawing of the breath are to the life of the body.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Drawing Prayer Spiritual
Religion indeed enlightens, terrifies, subdues; it gives faith, it inflicts remorse, it inspires resolutions, it draws tears, it inflames devotion, but only for the occasion.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Giving Inspire Religion
It is often said that second thoughts are best. So they are in matters of judgment but not in matters of conscience.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Judgment Matter Said
From the age of fifteen, dogma has been the fundamental principle of my religion: I know no other religion; I cannot enter into the idea of any other sort of religion; religion, as a mere sentiment, is to me a dream and a mockery.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Dream Ideas Religion
How many writers are there… who, breaking up their subject into details, destroy its life, and defraud us of the whole by their anxiety about the parts.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Anxiety Detail Teacher
