It is ignorance or at least lack of consideration of heavenly things that make the temporal things of this world, whether good or evil, greater than they really are.

About This Quote

In this quote, John Henry Newman tells us that we should appreciate what we have while we have it. We should not place so much emphasis on the things of this world while ignoring what’s important. If you have a good job, a nice house and a loving family, these things do not make you a successful person. If you do not have any of these things, they will never make you happy or successful.
