Saint Augustine
The truth is like a lion you don’t have to defend it. Let it loose it will defend itself.
Saint Augustine
It is no advantage to be near the light if the eyes are closed.
Saint Augustine
You have found that you were more secure before you accumulated so much. See what greed has imposed on you: You have filled your house and now you fear burglars. You have hoarded money and lost sleep. See what greed has commanded you: Do this! And you did it.
Saint Augustine
The spiritual virtue of a sacrament is like light although it passes among the impure, it is not polluted.
Saint Augustine

Saint Augustine
Some people, in order to discover God, read books. But there is a great book: the very appearance of created things. Look above you! Look below you! Read it. God, whom you want to discover, never wrote that book with ink. Instead, He set before your eyes the things that He had made. Can you ask for a louder voice than that?
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
God loves each of us as if there were only one of us.
Saint Augustine
I did not find you outside, O Lord, because I made the mistake of seeking outside you who were within
Saint Augustine
Remember this. When people choose to withdraw far from a fire, the fire continues to give warmth, but they grow cold. When people choose to withdraw far from light, the light continues to be bright in itself but they are in darkness. This is also the case when people withdraw from God.
Saint Augustine
Any woman who does not give birth to as many children as she is capable is guilty of murder.
Saint Augustine
This awful catastrophe is not the end but the beginning. History does not end so. It is the way its chapters open.
Saint Augustine
Free curiosity is of more value in learning than harsh discipline.
Saint Augustine
