This entire most beautiful order of good things is going to pass away after its measure has been exhausted for both morning and evening were made in them.
Saint Augustine
Repentant tears wash out the stain of guilt.
Saint Augustine
Justice being taken away, then, what are kingdoms but great robberies? For what are robberies themselves, but little kingdoms.
Saint Augustine
What do I love when I love my God?

You (God) have not only commanded continence, that is, from what things we are to restrain our love, but also justice, that is, on what we are to bestow our love.
Saint Augustine
