Written in the mid-1800s, Newman's thoughts on reason and passion reflect the intellectual and spiritual upheaval of the Victorian era. His work, \"An Essay on the Development of Christian Doctrine,\" showcases his nuanced understanding of the interplay between reason and emotion.\n\n**The Hidden Insight**\nOn the surface, this quote suggests that reason and passion are equally responsible for our actions. However, the deeper nuance lies in the recognition that reason, often seen as the more rational and controlled aspect of our nature, can also be a source of guilt and moral failing. This challenges the traditional view that reason is the sole arbiter of moral judgment, highlighting the potential for reason to lead us astray when not tempered by passion and emotion.\n\n**How to Use This**\nTo apply this mindset today, recognize that your rational thinking can sometimes lead you astray, and make room for emotional and intuitive considerations. When faced with a difficult decision, take time to reflect on both your rational arguments and your emotional resonance, acknowledging that both aspects of your nature have the potential to guide you towards a more informed and compassionate choice.",{"id":59,"quote_text":60,"author_id":5,"source_id":15,"has_image":29,"author":61,"source":62,"quote_tag":63,"commentary":9},3152417,"I wonder what day I shall die on – one passes year by year over one’s death day, as one might pass over one’s grave.",{"id":5,"author_name":6,"slug":10,"author_name_first_letter":7,"article_count":8,"image_url":9},{},[],{"id":65,"quote_text":66,"author_id":5,"source_id":15,"has_image":29,"author":67,"source":68,"quote_tag":69,"commentary":9},3152416,"When men understand what each other mean, they see, for the most part, that controversy is either superfluous or hopeless.",{"id":5,"author_name":6,"slug":10,"author_name_first_letter":7,"article_count":8,"image_url":9},{},[],{"id":71,"quote_text":72,"author_id":5,"source_id":15,"has_image":29,"author":73,"source":74,"quote_tag":75,"commentary":9},3152413,"Virtue is its own reward, and brings with it the truest and highest pleasure; but if we cultivate it only for pleasure’s sake, we are selfish, not religious, and will never gain the pleasure, because we can never have the virtue.",{"id":5,"author_name":6,"slug":10,"author_name_first_letter":7,"article_count":8,"image_url":9},{},[],{"id":77,"quote_text":78,"author_id":5,"source_id":15,"has_image":29,"author":79,"source":80,"quote_tag":81,"commentary":9},3152409,"Wine is good in itself, but not for a man in a fever.
