More quotes by Saint Augustine
Cantare amantis est ... Singing belongs to one who loves. (s. 336, 1 – PL 38, 1472).
Saint Augustine
Any woman who does not give birth to as many children as she is capable is guilty of murder.
Saint Augustine
That there should be some fire even after this life is not incredible, and it can be inquired into and either be discovered or left hidden whether some of the faithful may be saved, some more slowly and some more quickly in the greater or lesser degree in which they loved the good things that perish, through a certain purgatorial fire.
Saint Augustine
Beware of despairing about yourself: you are commanded to put your trust in God, and not in yourself.
Saint Augustine
Love and do what you want. If you stop talking, you will stop talking with love if you shout, you will shout with love if you correct, you will correct with love.
Saint Augustine
What is time? If I am not asked, I know if I am asked, I don't.
Saint Augustine
Humility is first, second and third in Christianity.
Saint Augustine
If they find a Christian mistaken in a field which they themselves know well and hear him maintaining his foolish opinions about our books, how are they going to believe those books in matters concerning the resurrection of the dead, the hope of eternal life, and the kingdom of heaven.
Saint Augustine
Two criminals were crucified with Christ. One was saved do not despair. One was not do not presume.
Saint Augustine
The one who is good, is free even being a slave the one who is bad remains a slave even being a king.
Saint Augustine
I learned most, not from those who taught me but from those who talked with me.
Saint Augustine
Our whole business in this Life is to restore to health the eye of the heart whereby God may be seen.
Saint Augustine
Don't let your life give evidence against your tongue. Sing with your voices... sing also with your conduct.
Saint Augustine
Singing is a lover's thing.
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
Except he be willing, man cannot believe.
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
What grace is meant to do is to help good people, not to escape their sufferings, but to bear them with a stout heart, with a fortitude that finds its strength in faith.
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
God loves each of us as if there were only one of us.
Saint Augustine
