Knowledge Is One Thing, Virtue Is Another.

Feast Of Clare Of Assisi, Founder Of The Order Of Minoresses (poor Clares), 1253 Commemoration Of John Henry Newman, Priest, Teacher, Tractarian, 1890 It Is Our Great Relief That God Is Not Extreme To Mark What Is Done Amiss, That He Looks At The Motives, And Accepts And Blesses In Spite Of Incidental Errors.

God Has Created All Things For Good; All Things For Their Greatest Good; Everything For Its Own Good. What Is The Good Of One Is Not The Good Of Another; What Makes One Man Happy Would Make Another Unhappy. God Has Determined, Unless I Interfere With His Plan, That I Should Reach That Which Will Be My Greatest Happiness. He Looks On Me Individually, He Calls Me By My Name, He Knows What I Can Do, What I Can Best Be, What Is My Greatest Happiness, And He Means To Give It Me.

Where Good And Ill Together Blent, Wage An Undying Strife.

Time Hath A Taming Hand.

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.
