Most people go not by argument, but by sympathies.

John Henry Newman

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

Catholic Love Soul
To take up the cross of Christ is no great action done once for all; it consists in the continual practice of small duties which are distasteful to us.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Action Done Practice
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
The attributes of God, though intelligible to us on their surface yet, for the very reason that they are infinite, transcend our comprehension, when they are dwelt upon, when they are followed out, and can only be received by faith.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Comprehensive Infinite Reason Spiritual
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
And with the morn those angel faces smile Which I have loved long since and lost awhile.

There is a knowledge which is desirable, though nothing come of it, as being of itself a treasure, and a sufficient remuneration of years of labor.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Good is never accomplished except at the cost of those who do it, truth never breaks through except through the sacrifice of those who spread it.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Break Cost Sacrifice Through
An academical system without the personal influence of teachers on pupils, is an arctic winter; it will create an icebound, petrified, cast-iron University, and nothing else.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Iron Teacher Winter
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
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
The reason why Christ is unknown today is because His Mother is unknown.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Somehow I am necessary for His purposes, as necessary in my place as an Archangel in his.
