Saint Augustine
For what am I to myself without You, but a guide to my own downfall?
Saint Augustine
Not to give to those in need what is to you superfluous is akin to fraud.
Saint Augustine
The human race is inquisitive about other people's lives, but negligent to correct their own.
Saint Augustine
Oh, beauty, ever ancient and ever new.
Saint Augustine

Saint Augustine
Between urine and filth we are born.
