Citáty John Henry Newman

„Žiť znamená meniť sa. A dostať sa na takú úroveň dokonalosti, ktorú ešte nikto nedosiahol, znamená prejsť mnohými a častými zmenami.“

— John Henry Newman

O zmene, o dokonalosti

„Dobrý život nie je život bez námahy, bez námahy sa nedá dôjsť k tým veciam, ktoré sú v živote podstatné.“

— John Henry Newman

„I sought to hear the voice of God and climbed the topmost steeple, but God declared: "Go down again - I dwell among the people.“

— John Henry Newman

„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. I may never know it in this life, but I shall be told it in the next. I am a link in a chain, a bond of connection between persons.

He has not created me for naught. I shall do good; I shall do His work.

I shall be an angel of peace, a preacher of truth in my own place,
while not intending it if I do but keep His commandments.

Therefore, I will trust Him, whatever I am, I can never be thrown away. If I am in sickness, my sickness may serve Him, in perplexity, my perplexity may serve Him. If I am in sorrow, my sorrow may serve Him. He does nothing in vain. He knows what He is about. He may take away my friends. He may throw me among strangers. He may make me feel desolate, make my spirits sink, hide my future from me. Still, He knows what He is about.“

„Growth is the only evidence of life.“

— 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

„Evil has no substance of its own, but is only the defect, excess, perversion, or corruption of that which has substance.“

— John Henry Newman

„Lead, Kindly Light, amidst th'encircling gloom,
Lead Thou me on!
The night is dark, and I am far from home,
Lead Thou me on!
Keep Thou my feet; I do not ask to see
The distant scene; one step enough for me.
I was not ever thus, nor prayed that Thou
Shouldst lead me on;
I loved to choose and see my path; but now
Lead Thou me on!
I loved the garish day, and, spite of fears,
Pride ruled my will. Remember not past years!
So long Thy power hath blest me, sure it still
Will lead me on.
O’er moor and fen, o’er crag and torrent, till
The night is gone,
And with the morn those angel faces smile,
Which I have loved long since, and lost awhile!
Meantime, along the narrow rugged path,
Thyself hast trod,
Lead, Saviour, lead me home in childlike faith,
Home to my God.
To rest forever after earthly strife
In the calm light of everlasting life.“

— John Henry Newman

„Animals have done us no harm and they have no power of resistance. There is something so very dreadful in tormenting those who have never harmed us, who cannot defend themselves, who are utterly in our power.“

— John Henry Newman

„If we insist on being as sure as is conceivable... we must be content to creep along the ground, and never soar.“

— John Henry Newman
