More quotes by Saint Augustine
They, then, who are destined to die, need not be careful to inquire what death they are to die, but into what place death will usher them.
Saint Augustine

Saint Augustine
Love, and do what you will. If you keep silence, do it out of love. If you cry out, do it out of love. If you refrain from punishing, do it out of love.
Saint Augustine
I have learnt to love you late, Beauty at once so ancient and so new!
Saint Augustine
To abstain from sin when one can no longer sin is to be forsaken by sin, not to forsake it.
Saint Augustine

Saint Augustine

Saint Augustine
Without God, man cannot, and without man, God will not.
Saint Augustine
He who denies the existence of God, has some reason for wishing that God did not exist.
Saint Augustine
Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden.
Saint Augustine
I thought that continence was a matter of our own strength, and I knew that I had not the strength: for in my utter foolishness I did not know the word of Your Scripture that none can be continent unless You give it.
Saint Augustine
Slavery is not penal in character and planned by that law which commands the preservation of the natural order and forbids disturbance.
Saint Augustine
Mary heard God's word and kept it, and so she is blessed. She kept God's truth in her mind, a nobler thing than carrying his body in her womb.
Saint Augustine
To my God a heart of flame To my fellow man a heart of love To myself a heart of steel.
Saint Augustine
The world's verdict is conclusive.
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
