More quotes by Saint Augustine
Two cities have been formed by two loves: the earthly by the love of self the heavenly by the love of God.
Saint Augustine
It is He who gave to this intellectual nature free-will of such a kind, that if he wishes to forsake God his blessedness, misery should forthwith result.
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
The diversity of language alienates man from man
Saint Augustine
If God seems slow in responding, it is because He is preparing a better gift. He will not deny us. God withholds what you are not yet ready for. He wants you to have a lively desire for His greatest gifts. All of which is to say, pray always and do not lose heart.
Saint Augustine
He who is filled with love is filled with God himself.
Saint Augustine

Saint Augustine
Heaven forbid that we should believe in such a way as not to accept or seek reasons, since we could not even believe if we did not possess rational souls.
Saint Augustine
God grants us not always what we ask so as to bestow something preferable.
Saint Augustine
We made bad use of immortality, and so ended up dying Christ made good use of mortality, so that we might end up living.
Saint Augustine
Disturbers are to be rebuked, the low spirited to be encouraged, the infirm to be supported, objectors confuted, the treacherous guarded against, the unskilled taught, the lazy aroused, the contentious restrained, the haughty repressed, the poor relieved, the oppressed liberated, the good approved, the evil borne with, and all are to be loved!
Saint Augustine
Fasting cleanses the soul, raises the mind, subjects one’s flesh to the spirit, renders the heart contrite and humble, scatters the clouds of concupiscence, quenches the fire of lust, and kindles the true light of chastity.
Saint Augustine
If God is, why is there evil? But if God is not, why is there good?
Saint Augustine
No eulogy is due to him who simply does his duty and nothing more.
Saint Augustine
For if God is man's chief good, which you cannot deny, it clearly follows, since to seek the chief good is to live well, that to live well is nothing else but to love God with all the heart, with all the soul, with all the mind.
Saint Augustine
It will not be held against you that you are ignorant against your will, but that you neglect to seek out what it is that makes you ignorant not that you cannot bring together your wounded limbs, but that you reject Him that would heal them.
Saint Augustine
I did not find you outside, O Lord, because I made the mistake of seeking outside you who were within
Saint Augustine
In order to discover the character of people we have only to observe what they love.
Saint Augustine
Within the Church, sins are forgiven in three ways: by baptism, by prayer, and by the greater humility of penance yet God does not forgive sins except to the baptized.
Saint Augustine
Oh, beauty, ever ancient and ever new.
Saint Augustine
