More quotes by Saint Augustine
The Law is not in fault, but our evil and wicked nature even as a heap of lime is still and quiet until water is poured on it, but then it begins to smoke and burn, not from the fault of the water, but from the nature of the lime, which will not endure it.
Saint Augustine
A man may lose the good things of this life against his will but if he loses the eternal blessings, he does so with his own consent.
Saint Augustine
Unjust laws aren't laws at all.
Saint Augustine
Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a teardrop.
Saint Augustine
I fell away from you, my God, and I went astray, too far astray from you, the support of my youth, and I became to myself a land of want.
Saint Augustine
Pray as though everything depended on God. Work as though everything depended on you.
Saint Augustine

Saint Augustine
Suppress prostitution, and capricious lusts will overthrow society.
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
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
God does not expect us to submit our faith to him without reason, but the very limits of our reason make faith a necessity.
Saint Augustine
For so it is, O Lord my God, I measure it! But what it is I measure, I do not know.
Saint Augustine
The Bible was composed in such a way that as beginners mature, its meaning grows with them.
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
Beauty is the brilliance of truth.
Saint Augustine
The one who sings, prays twice.
Saint Augustine
