John Henry Newman Quotes About Dogma

Quotes about: Dogma

• Men will die upon dogma but will not fall victim to a conclusion.

  John Henry Newman

  Fall, Men, Dogma

• The heart is commonly reached, not through the reason, but through the imagination, by means of direct impressions, by the testimony of facts and events, by history, by description. Persons influence us, voices melt us, looks subdue us, deeds inflame us. Many a man will live and die upon a dogma; no man will be a martyr for a conclusion.
