John Henry Newman

A great memory is never made synonymous with wisdom, any more than a dictionary would be called a treatise.

Let us act on what we have, since we have not what we wish.

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.

The love of our private friends is the only preparatory exercise for the love of all men.

Growth is the only evidence of life.

Fear not that thy life shall come to an end, but rather that it shall never have a beginning.

To live is to change, and to be perfect is to have changed often.

We can believe what we choose. We are answerable for what we choose to believe.
