More quotes by 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
Who would not shudder if he were given the choice of eternal death or life again as a child ? Who would not choose to die ?
Saint Augustine
For it is better to suffer a little want than to have too much.
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
One generation and another generation the generation by which we are made the faithful, and are born again by baptism the generation by which we shall rise again from the dead, and shall live with the Angels for ever.
Saint Augustine
Sin is looking for the right thing in the wrong place.
Saint Augustine
The people who remained victorious were less like conquerors than conquered.
Saint Augustine
I found thee not, O Lord, without, because I erred in seeking thee without that wert within.
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
It is not that we keep His commandments first and that then He loves but that He loves us and then we keep His commandments. This is that grace which is revealed to the humble but hidden from the proud.
Saint Augustine
The desire is thy prayers and if thy desire is without ceasing, thy prayer will also be without ceasing. The continuance of your longing is the continuance of your prayer.
Saint Augustine
This world's a bubble.
Saint Augustine
He that is jealous is not in love.
Saint Augustine
We make ourselves a ladder out of our vices if we trample the vices themselves underfoot.
Saint Augustine
Before God can deliver us we must undeceive ourselves.
Saint Augustine
If you are suffering from a bad man's injustice, forgive him lest there be two bad men.
Saint Augustine
I fell away from you, my God, and I went astray, too far astray from you, the support of my youth, and I became to myself a land of want.
Saint Augustine
Except he be willing, man cannot believe.
Saint Augustine
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
Your persistent longing is your persistent voice. But when love grows cold, the heart grows silent. Burning love is the outcry of the heart! If you are filled with longing all the time, you will keep crying out, and if your love perseveres, your cry will be heard without fail.
Saint Augustine
