| John Henry Newman
A great memory does not make a mind, any more than a dictionary is a piece of literature. A great memory is never made synonymous with wisdom, any more than a dictionary would be called a treatise. Calculation never made a hero. Fear not that thy life shall come to an end, but rather that it shall ever have a beginning. In this world no one rules by love; if you are but amiable, you are no hero; to be powerful, you must be strong, and to have dominion you must have a genius for organizing. It is almost a definition of a gentleman to say that he is one who never inflicts pain. There is such a thing as legitimate warfare: war has its laws; there are things which may fairly be done, and things which may not be done. To holy people the very name of Jesus is a name to feed upon, a name to transport. His name can raise the dead and transfigure and beautify the living. |
