When you feel in need of a compliment, give one to someone else.

John Henry Newman

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
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
All that is good, all that is true, all that is beautiful, all that is beneficent, be it great or small, be it perfect or fragmentary, natural as well as supernatural, moral as well as material, comes from God.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Beautiful Moral Perfect
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
A science is not mere knowledge, it is knowledge which has undergone a process of intellectual digestion. It is the grasp of many things brought together in one, and hence is its power; for, properly speaking, it is Science that is power, not Knowledge.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Intellectual Knowledge Science
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
Living Nature, not dull art Shall plan my ways and rule my Heart.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Art Beauty Nature
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
To live is to change, and to be perfect is to have changed often.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Change Life Spiritual
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
Stuffing birds or playing stringed instruments is an elegant pastime, and a resource to the idle, but it is not education.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Bird Instruments Resources
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 ventures and hazards . . . counting the costs and delighting in the sacrifice.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Faith Hazards Sacrifice
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
Time hath a taming hand.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Hands Hath Taming
