"People are not won for Jesus Christ and his Church by means of argumentation alone, ... but by credible witness.
John Henry Newman believed that the truth of the Gospel, passed down through the centuries, "has been upheld not as a system, not by books, not by argument, nor by temporal power, but by the personal influence of such [individuals]... who are at once teachers and the patterns of it".
- Fr Juan R. Vélez, from
"Heart Speaks to Heart"
- Newman, a scholar and churchman, was also a model
of deep and enduring friendship
