More quotes by Saint Augustine
A wanton eye is a messenger of an unchaste heart.
Saint Augustine
Oh, beauty, ever ancient and ever new.
Saint Augustine
There is no remedy so powerful against the heat of concupiscence as the remembrance of our Savior's Passion. In all my difficulties I never found anything so efficacious as the wounds of Christ: In them I sleep secure from them I derive new life.
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
The argument is at an end.
Saint Augustine
In what is necessary, unity in what is not necessary, liberty and in all things charity.
Saint Augustine
The heart of man is restless until he finds rest in Thee.
Saint Augustine
If you don't believe it you won't understand it.
Saint Augustine
Venerate the martyrs, praise, love, proclaim, honor them. But worship the God of the martyrs.
Saint Augustine
Fortitude is the disposition of soul which enables us to despise all inconveniences and the loss of things not in our power.
Saint Augustine
Idolatry is worshipping anything that ought to be used, or using anything that is meant to be worshipped.
Saint Augustine
God is not what you imagine or what you think you understand. If you understand you have failed.
Saint Augustine
Why then be perverted and follow thy flesh? Be it converted and follow thee.
Saint Augustine
Someone who knows enough to become the owner of a tree, and gives thanks to you for the benefits it brings him, is in a better state, even if ignorant of its height in feet and the extent of its spread, than another who measures and counts all its branches but neither owns it nor knows its creator nor loves him.
Saint Augustine
He who denies the existence of God, has some reason for wishing that God did not exist.
Saint Augustine
The honors of this world, what are they but puff, and emptiness, and peril of falling?
Saint Augustine
When the king asked him what he meant by infesting the sea, the pirate defiantly replied: The same as you do when you infest the whole world but because I do it with a little ship I am called a robber, and because you do it with a great fleet, you are an emperor.
Saint Augustine
Dilige et quod vis fac. (Love and then what you will, do.)
Saint Augustine
Who can map out the various forces at play in one soul? Man is a great depth, O Lord. The hairs of his head are easier by far to count than his feeling, the movements of his heart.
Saint Augustine
Love all men, even your enemies love them, not because they are your brothers, but that they may become your brothers. Thus you will ever burn with fraternal love, both for him who is already your brother and for your enemy, that he may by loving become your brother.
Saint Augustine
