More quotes by Saint Augustine
Except he be willing, man cannot believe.
Saint Augustine
Pray as though everything depended on God. Work as though everything depended on you.
Saint Augustine
Quid est ergo tempus? Si nemo ex me quaerat, scio si quaerenti explicare velim, nescio. What, then, is time? I know well enough what it is, provided that nobodyasksme but if Iamasked what it is and try to explain, I am baffled.
Saint Augustine
In what is necessary, unity in what is not necessary, liberty and in all things charity.
Saint Augustine
All diseases of Christians are to be ascribed to demons chiefly do they torment freshly-baptized Christians, yea, even the guiltless new-born infants.
Saint Augustine
Because a thing is eloquently expressed it should not be taken to be as necessarily true nor because it is uttered with stammering lips should it be supposed false.
Saint Augustine
Wonderful is the depth of thy words, whose surface is before us, gently leading on the little ones: and yet a wonderful deepness, O my God, a wonderful deepness. It is awe to look into it even an awfulness of honour, and a trembling of love.
Saint Augustine
People travel to wonder at the height of mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long courses of rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motion of the stars and they pass by themselves without wondering.
Saint Augustine
In order to discover the character of people we have only to observe what they love.
Saint Augustine
Not to give to those in need what is to you superfluous is akin to fraud.
Saint Augustine
It is better that the truth be known than that scandal be covered up.
Saint Augustine
God in his omnipotence could not give more, in His wisdom He knew not how to give more, in His riches He had not more to give, than the Eucharist.
Saint Augustine
Is any man skillful enough to have fashioned himself?
Saint Augustine
Bad company is like a nail driven into a post, which, after the first and second blow, may be drawn out with little difficulty but being once driven up to the head, the pincers cannot take hold to draw it out, but which can only be done by the destruction of the wood.
Saint Augustine
For, as it is written in the book of the Prophets: 'And the angel that spoke in me, said to me...' He does not say, 'Spoke to me' but 'Spoke in me'.
Saint Augustine
How can the past and future be, when the past no longer is, and the future is not yet? As for the present, if it were always present and never moved on to become the past, it would not be time, but eternity.
Saint Augustine
For, were it not good that evil things should also exist, the omnipotent God would almost certainly not allow evil to be, since beyond doubt it is just as easy for Him not to allow what He does not will, as for Him to do what He will.
Saint Augustine
Disturbers are to be rebuked, the low spirited to be encouraged, the infirm to be supported, objectors confuted, the treacherous guarded against, the unskilled taught, the lazy aroused, the contentious restrained, the haughty repressed, the poor relieved, the oppressed liberated, the good approved, the evil borne with, and all are to be loved!
Saint Augustine
Whoever possesses God is happy.
Saint Augustine
Free curiosity has greater power to stimulate learning than rigorous coercion. Nevertheless, the free ranging flux of curiosity is channeled by discipline under Your Law.
