Saint Augustine
We made bad use of immortality, and so ended up dying Christ made good use of mortality, so that we might end up living.
Saint Augustine
The people who remained victorious were less like conquerors than conquered.
Saint Augustine
I did not find you outside, O Lord, because I made the mistake of seeking outside you who were within
Saint Augustine
I do not comprehend all that I am. Is the mind, therefore, too limited to possess itself?
Saint Augustine
You are my Lord, because You have no need of my goodness.
Saint Augustine
Did my infancy succeed another age of mine that dies before it? Was it that which I spent within my mother's womb?... And what before that life again, O God of my joy, was I anywhere or in any body?
Saint Augustine
