More quotes by Saint Augustine
Whoever possesses God is happy.
Saint Augustine
Punishment, that is the justice for the unjust.
Saint Augustine
We should never use the truth to wound.
Saint Augustine
It was pride that changed angels into devils it is humility that makes men as angels.
Saint Augustine
The confession of evil works is the first beginning of good works.
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
One never errs more safely than when one errs by too much loving the truth.
Saint Augustine
Nothing so clearly distinguishes a spiritual man as his treatment of an erring brother.
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
Love, and do what you will. If you are silent, be silent for love or if you cry out, cry out for love. If you chastise, chastise for love if you spare, spare for love.
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
Beware of despairing about yourself: you are commanded to put your trust in God, and not in yourself.
Saint Augustine
...If humility does not precede all that we do, our efforts are fruitless.
Saint Augustine
We must be on our guard against giving interpretations which are hazardous or opposed to science, and so exposing the word of God to the ridicule of unbelievers.
Saint Augustine
Every morning you put on your clothes to cover your nakedness and protect your body from inclement weather. Why don't you also clothe your soul with the garment of faith? Remember each morning the truths of your creed, and look at yourself in the mirror of your faith. Otherwise, your soul will soon be naked with the nakedness of oblivion.
Saint Augustine
Understanding is the wages of faith.
Saint Augustine
Christ was born of a woman without the man.
Saint Augustine
Try to acquire the virtues you believe lacking in your brothers. Then you will no longer see their defects, for you will no longer have them yourself.
Saint Augustine
While the best men are guided by love, most mean are still goaded by fear.
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
