More quotes by Saint Augustine
We are too weak to discover the truth by reason alone
Saint Augustine
Though there are very many nations all over the earth, ...there are no more than two kinds of human society, which we may justly call two cities, ...one consisting of those who live according to man, the other of those who live according to God ....To the City of Man belong the enemies of God, ...so inflamed with hatred against the City of God.
Saint Augustine
I acknowledge Thee, Lord of heaven and earth, and praise Thee for my first rudiments of being, and my infancy, whereof I remember nothing for Thou hast appointed that man should from others guess much as to himself and believe much on the strength of weak females.
Saint Augustine
Is any man skillful enough to have fashioned himself?
Saint Augustine
God loves each of us as if there were only one of us.
Saint Augustine
Without God, man cannot, and without man, God will not.
Saint Augustine
Ignorance itself is without a doubt a sin for those who do not wish to understand for those who, however, cannot understand, it is the punishment of sin.
Saint Augustine
Any woman who does not give birth to as many children as she is capable is guilty of murder.
Saint Augustine
Nothing, therefore, happens unless the Omnipotent wills it to happen. He either permits it to happen, or He brings it about Himself.
Saint Augustine
The angels surround and help the priest when he is celebrating Mass.
Saint Augustine
Find out how much God has given you and from it take what you need the remainder is needed by others.
Saint Augustine
For, were it not good that evil things should also exist, the omnipotent God would almost certainly not allow evil to be, since beyond doubt it is just as easy for Him not to allow what He does not will, as for Him to do what He will.
Saint Augustine
Mary heard God's word and kept it, and so she is blessed. She kept God's truth in her mind, a nobler thing than carrying his body in her womb.
Saint Augustine
Let the Lord your God be your hope – seek for nothing else from him, but let him himself be your hope. There are people who hope from him riches or perishable and transitory honours, in short they hope to get from God things which are not God himself.
Saint Augustine
It is not in virtue of its liberty that the human will attains to grace, it is much rather by grace that it attains to liberty.
Saint Augustine
Temporal punishments are suffered by some in this life only, by some after death, by some both here and hereafter, but all of them before that last and strictest judgment. But not all who suffer temporal punishments after death will come to eternal punishments, which are to follow after that judgment.
Saint Augustine
While the best men are guided by love, most mean are still goaded by fear.
Saint Augustine
Love all men, even your enemies love them, not because they are your brothers, but that they may become your brothers. Thus you will ever burn with fraternal love, both for him who is already your brother and for your enemy, that he may by loving become your brother.
Saint Augustine
You can live, provided you live that is, you can live for ever, provided you live a good life.
Saint Augustine
Seek not to understand that you may believe, but believe that you may understand.
Saint Augustine
