John Henry Newman Thinking Quotations

Let us put ourselves into His hands, and not be startled though He leads us by a strange way, a mirabilis via, as the Church speaks. Let us be sure He will lead us right, that He will bring us to that which is, not indeed what we think best, nor what is best for another, but what is best for us.

Thought and speech are inseparable from each other. Matter and expression are parts of one; style is a thinking out into language.

Nothing is more common than for men to think that because they are familiar with words they understand the ideas they stand for.
