John Henry Newman quotes about
serving-others missions committed
God has created me to do Him some definite service; He has committed some work to me which He has not committed to another. I have my mission.
fickle decay world
Life passes, riches fly away, popularity is fickle, the senses decay, the world changes. One alone is true to us; One alone can be all things to us; One alone can supply our need.
hazards ends ifs
If we are intended for great ends, we are called to great hazards.
wish
Let us act on what we have, since we have not what we wish.
science men literature
Literature stands related to Man as Science stands to Nature; it is his history.
height way depth
Praise to the Holiest in the height, And in the depth be praise; In all His words most wonderful, Most sure in all His ways.
perseverance taken humble
There are wounds of the spirit which never close and are intended in God's mercy to bring us nearer to Him, and to prevent us leaving Him by their very perpetuity. Such wounds then may almost be taken as a pledge, or at least as a ground for a humble trust, that God will give us the great gift of perseverance to the end. This is how I comfort myself in my own great bereavements.
sensible
It is God himself who can be discovered in the beauty of sensible things.
practice done action
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.
self-esteem giving needs
When you feel in need of a compliment, give one to someone else.
theory-of-evolution almighty inconsistent
I see nothing in the theory of evolution inconsistent with an Almighty Creator and Protector.
pride past years
I loved the garish day, and, spite of fears, Pride ruled my will: remember not past years.
virtue one-thing
Knowledge is one thing, virtue is another.
protestants cease
To be deep in history, is to cease to be Protestant.
