Quote

What does love look like? It has the hands to help others. It has the feet to hasten to the poor and needy. It has eyes to see misery and want. It has the ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of men. That is what love looks like.

More quotes by Saint Augustine

Image
Fasting cleanses the soul, raises the mind, subjects one’s flesh to the spirit, renders the heart contrite and humble, scatters the clouds of concupiscence, quenches the fire of lust, and kindles the true light of chastity.
Saint Augustine
Image
The people who remained victorious were less like conquerors than conquered.
Saint Augustine
Image
Where love is, what can be wanting? Where it is not, what can possibly be profitable?
Saint Augustine
Image
How high a price we pay for the burden of habit! I am fitted for life here where I do not want to be, I want to live there but am unfit for it, and on both counts I am miserable.
Saint Augustine
Image
Men go forth to wonder at the height of mountains, the huge waves of the sea, the broad flow of the ocean, the course of the stars-and forget to wonder at themselves. Beware of despairing about yourself: you are commanded to put your trust in God, and not in yourself.
Saint Augustine

Patience is the companion of wisdom.
Saint Augustine
Image
There is nothing more serious than the sacrilege of schism because there is no just cause for severing the unity of the Church.
Saint Augustine
Image
Whoever is still seeking for miracles so that he may believe is himself a wonder, who does not believe while the world around him does.
Saint Augustine
Image
Our heart is restless until it rests in You.
Saint Augustine
Image
Our whole business in this Life is to restore to health the eye of the heart whereby God may be seen.
Saint Augustine
Image
For what am I to myself without You, but a guide to my own downfall?
Saint Augustine
Image
Truth is not private property.
Saint Augustine
Image
Longing desire prayeth always, though the tongue be silent. If thou art ever longing, thou art ever praying.
Saint Augustine
Image
If you understood him, it would not be God.
Saint Augustine
Image
Nothing so casts down the manly mind from it's height as the fondling of women and those bodily contacts which belong to the married state.
Saint Augustine
Image
The same divine authority that forbids the killing of a human being establishes certain exceptions, as when God authorizes killing by a general law or when He gives an explicit commission to an individual for a limited time.
