John Henry Newman citáty

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

„Kto sa vzdiali od Boha, neuniká jeho moci, vymyká sa len z jeho lásky.“

„Jediným dôkazom života je rast.“

„Dobro sa nikdy nedosiahne inak ako na úkor tých, ktorí ho konajú. Pravda nikdy neprerazí inak ako za cenu obety tých, ktorí ju šíria.“

“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.”

“The Catholic Church claims, not only to judge infallibly on religious questions, but to animadvert on opinions in secular matters which bear upon religion, on matters of philosophy, of science, of literature, of history, and it demands our submission to her claim. It claims to censure books, to silence authors, and to forbid discussions. In all this it does not so much speak doctrinally, as enforce measures of discipline. It must of course be obeyed without a word, and perhaps in process of time it will tacitly recede from its own injunctions. In such cases the question of faith does not come in; for what is matter of faith is true for all times, and never can be unsaid.”

“Sin can read sin, but dimly scans high grace.”

“And with the morn those angel faces smile
Which I have loved long since and lost awhile.”

“Flagrant evils cure themselves by being flagrant.”

“Time hath a taming hand.”
