More quotes by Saint Augustine
The words printed here are concepts. You must go through the experiences.
Saint Augustine
If you don't believe it you won't understand it.
Saint Augustine
A free curiosity is more effective in learning than a rigid discipline.
Saint Augustine
Why persist in walking difficult and toilsome paths? There is no repose where you are seeking it. Search as you like, it is not where you are looking. You are seeking a happy life in the realm of death, and it will not be found there. How could life be happy where there is no life at all?
Saint Augustine
For what is time? ... Who can even in thought comprehend it, so as to utter a word about it? ... If no one asks me, I know: If I wish to explain it to one that asketh, I know not.
Saint Augustine
The love of our neighbor hath its bounds in each man's love of himself.
Saint Augustine
The one who sings, prays twice.
Saint Augustine
Make me a captive Lord, then I shall be truly free.
Saint Augustine
The Old (Testament) is in the New (Testament) revealed, the New is in the Old concealed.
Saint Augustine
Don't let your life give evidence against your tongue. Sing with your voices... sing also with your conduct.
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
The mere change of custom, even though it may be of advantage in some respects, unsettles men by reason of the novelty: therefore, if it brings no advantage, it does much harm by unprofitably disturbing the Church.
Saint Augustine
There is no health in those who are displeased by an element in Your creation, just as there was none in me when I was displeased by many things You had made. Because my soul didn't dare to say that my God displeased me, it refused to attribute to You whatever was displeasing.
Saint Augustine
I asked the whole frame of the world about my God and he answered, I am not He, but He made me.
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
Give what You command and command what You will.
Saint Augustine
The mind commands the body and is instantly obeyed. The mind commands itself and meets resistance. The mind commands the hand to move, and it so easy that one hardly distinguishes the order from its execution. Yet mind is mind and hand is body. The mind orders the mind to will. The recipient of the order is itself, yet it does not perform it.
Saint Augustine
If by fate anyone means the will or power of God, let him keep his meaning but mend his language for fate commonly means a necessary process which will have its way apart from the will of God and men.
Saint Augustine
I will not live an instant that I do not live in love. Whoever loves does all things without suffering, or, suffering, loves his suffering.
Saint Augustine
Trials and tribulations offer us a chance to make reparation for our past faults and sins. On such occasions the Lord comes to us like a physician to heal the wounds left by our sins. Tribulation is the divine medicine.
Saint Augustine
