Brutes gaze on sights, they are arrested by sounds; and what they see and what they hear are sights and sounds only. The intellectof man, on the contrary, energises as well as his eye or ear, and perceives in sights or sounds something beyond them. It seizes and unites what the senses present to it; it grasps and forms what need not be seen or heard except in detail. It discerns in lines and colors, or in tones, what is beautiful and what is not. It gives them a meaning, and invests them with an idea.
John Henry NewmanIt is almost a definition of a gentleman to say that he is one who never inflicts pain.
John Henry NewmanReason is one thing and faith is another and reason can as little be made a substitute for faith, as faith can be made a substitute for reason.
John Henry Newman
