More quotes by Saint Augustine
Love, and do what you will. If you are silent, be silent for love or if you cry out, cry out for love. If you chastise, chastise for love if you spare, spare for love.
Saint Augustine
For, were it not good that evil things should also exist, the omnipotent God would almost certainly not allow evil to be, since beyond doubt it is just as easy for Him not to allow what He does not will, as for Him to do what He will.
Saint Augustine
It will not be held against you that you are ignorant against your will, but that you neglect to seek out what it is that makes you ignorant not that you cannot bring together your wounded limbs, but that you reject Him that would heal them.
Saint Augustine
If you don't believe it you won't understand it.
Saint Augustine
If I am given a formula, and I am ignorant of its meaning, it cannot teach me anything, but if I already know it what does the formula teach me?
Saint Augustine
We can know what God is not, but we cannot know what He is.
Saint Augustine
Better that I find you, God, and leave the questions unanswered, than to find the answers without finding you.
Saint Augustine
The flesh does not by its own virtue purify, but is purified by virtue of the Word by which it was assumed, when 'the Word became flesh and dwelt among us' (Jn. 1:14).
Saint Augustine
Love is the beauty of the soul.
Saint Augustine
Doubt is but another element of faith.
Saint Augustine
Our bodies are shaped to bear children, and our lives are a working out of the processes of creation. All our ambitions and intelligence are beside that great elemental point.
Saint Augustine
What is time? If I am not asked, I know if I am asked, I don't.
Saint Augustine
I do not comprehend all that I am. Is the mind, therefore, too limited to possess itself?
Saint Augustine
If a parricide is more wicked than anyone who commits homicide-because he kills not merely a man but a near relative-without doubt worse still is he who kills himself, because there is none nearer to a man than himself.
Saint Augustine
Believe in order to Understand and Understand in order to Believe
Saint Augustine
For what am I to myself without You, but a guide to my own downfall?
Saint Augustine
People travel to wonder at the height of mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long courses of rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motion of the stars and they pass by themselves without wondering.
Saint Augustine
They the hazers or eversores were rightly called Overturners, since they had themselves been first overturned and perverted, tricked by those same devils who were secretly mocking them in the very acts by which they amused themselves in mocking and making fools of others.
Saint Augustine
None save great men have been the authors of great heresies.
Saint Augustine
When I come to be united to thee with all my being, then there will be no more pain and toil for me, and my life shall be a real life, being wholly filled by thee.
Saint Augustine
