John Henry Newman

To live is to change, and to be perfect is to have changed often.

English convert from Anglicanism to Catholicism, cardinal, and one of the most subtle theological minds of the 19th century. Wrote on conscience, the development of doctrine, and the long obedience of an honest mind seeking truth.
