More quotes by Saint Augustine
If bodies please thee, praise God on occasion of them, and turn back thy love upon their Maker lest in these things which please thee, thou displease. If souls please thee, be they loved in God: for they too are mutable, but in Him they are firmly established.
Saint Augustine
Do you know who the upright of heart are? They are those who wish what God wishes. Therefore, do not try to twist God's will to you own but correct your will to that of God. The will of God is a rule of conduct. By it you have the means of being converted and of correcting your evil ways.
Saint Augustine
The Old (Testament) is in the New (Testament) revealed, the New is in the Old concealed.
Saint Augustine
Poetry is devil's wine.
Saint Augustine
Repentant tears wash out the stain of guilt.
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
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
Suppress prostitution, and capricious lusts will overthrow society.
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
The reward of patience Is patience.
Saint Augustine

Saint Augustine
There never can have been, and never can be, and there never shall be any sin without pride.
Saint Augustine
Never judge a philosophy by its abuse.
Saint Augustine
Whatever skills I have acquired, whatever gifts I have been given, I place them at Your service.
Saint Augustine
I make bold to say that it is profitable for the proud to fall, in order that they may be humbled in that for which they have exalted themselves.
Saint Augustine
The one who sings, prays twice.
Saint Augustine
Two criminals were crucified with Christ. One was saved do not despair. One was not do not presume.
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
Your wisdom should be without pride.
Saint Augustine
The same thing which is now called Christian religion existed among the ancients. They have begun to call 'Christian' the true religion which existed before.
Saint Augustine
