Better to have fewer wants than greater riches to supply increasing wants.
Saint Augustine
I will not live an instant that I do not live in love. Whoever loves does all things without suffering, or, suffering, loves his suffering.
Saint Augustine

Saint Augustine
No one can begin a new life, unless he repent of the old.

Saint Augustine
For what is the self-complacent man but a slave to his own self-praise.
Saint Augustine
You have found that you were more secure before you accumulated so much. See what greed has imposed on you: You have filled your house and now you fear burglars. You have hoarded money and lost sleep. See what greed has commanded you: Do this! And you did it.
Saint Augustine
Forgiveness is the remission of sins. For it is by this that what has been lost, and was found, is saved from being lost again.
Saint Augustine
That your enemies have been created is God's doing that they hate you and wish to ruin you is their own doing. What should you say about them in your mind? Lord be merciful to them, forgive them their sins, put the fear of God in them, change them! You are loving in them not what they are, but what you would have them to become.
Saint Augustine
Never judge a philosophy by its abuse.
Saint Augustine
No eulogy is due to him who simply does his duty and nothing more.
Saint Augustine
The weakness of little children's limbs is innocent, not their souls.
Saint Augustine
