Quotes by John Henry Newman
- Growth is the only evidence of life.
- In a higher world it is otherwise; but here below to live is to change, and to be perfect is to have changed often.
- Nothing would be done at all, if a man waited till he could do it so well, that no one could find fault with it.
- One secret act of self-denial, one sacrifice of inclination to duty, is worth all the mere good thoughts, warm feelings, passionate prayers in which idle people indulge themselves.
- To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often.
