More quotes by Saint Augustine
None save great men have been the authors of great heresies.
Saint Augustine
The entire life of a good Christian is in fact an exercise of holy desire. You do not yet see what you long for, but the very act of desiring prepares you, so that when he comes you may see and be utterly satisfied.
Saint Augustine
Whatever skills I have acquired, whatever gifts I have been given, I place them at Your service.
Saint Augustine
I was unhappy and so is every soul unhappy which is tied to its love for mortal things when it loses them, it is torn in pieces, and it is then that it comes to realize the unhappiness which was there even before it lost them.
Saint Augustine
Although among heretics and schismatics there is the same Baptism, nevertheless, the remission of sins is not operative among them because of the very rottenness of discord and wickedness of dissension ... Baptism was in them, but it did not profit them outside the Church ... Outside the Church, Baptism works death because of discord.
Saint Augustine
Now the Apostle, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, says, Knowledge inflates: but love edifies. The only correct inerpretation of this saying is that knowledge is valuable when charity informs it. Without charity, knowledge inflates that is, it exalts man to an arrogance which is nothing but a kind of windy emptiness.
Saint Augustine
It is the function of perfection to make one know one's imperfection.
Saint Augustine
Heaven forbid that we should believe in such a way as not to accept or seek reasons, since we could not even believe if we did not possess rational souls.
Saint Augustine
I acknowledge Thee, Lord of heaven and earth, and praise Thee for my first rudiments of being, and my infancy, whereof I remember nothing for Thou hast appointed that man should from others guess much as to himself and believe much on the strength of weak females.
Saint Augustine
What are kingdoms without justice? They're just gangs of bandits.
Saint Augustine
So give to the poor I'm begging you, I'm warning you, I'm commanding you, I'm ordering you.
Saint Augustine
He was created of a mother whom He created. He was carried by hands that He formed. He cried in the manger in wordless infancy. He, the Word, without whom all human eloquence is mute.
Saint Augustine
While the best men are guided by love, most mean are still goaded by fear.
Saint Augustine
God is not greater if you reverence Him, but you are greater if you serve Him.
Saint Augustine
Without God, we cannot. Without us, God will not.
Saint Augustine
Let us, on both sides, lay aside all arrogance. Let us not, on either side, claim that we have already discovered the truth. Let us seek it together as something which is known to neither of us. For then only may we seek it, lovingly and tranquilly, if there be no bold presumption that it is already discovered and possessed.
Saint Augustine
It seems to me that an unjust law is no law at all.
Saint Augustine
Love all men, even your enemies love them, not because they are your brothers, but that they may become your brothers. Thus you will ever burn with fraternal love, both for him who is already your brother and for your enemy, that he may by loving become your brother.
Saint Augustine
The weakness of little children's limbs is innocent, not their souls.
Saint Augustine
We should never use the truth to wound.
Saint Augustine
