Free curiosity is of more value in learning than harsh discipline.
Saint Augustine
Image
For what is the self-complacent man but a slave to his own self-praise.
Saint Augustine
Image
Lord, thou madest us for thyself, and we can find no rest till we find rest in thee.
Saint Augustine
Image
I was unhappy and so is every soul unhappy which is tied to its love for mortal things when it loses them, it is torn in pieces, and it is then that it comes to realize the unhappiness which was there even before it lost them.
Saint Augustine
Image
No one can begin a new life, unless he repent of the old.
Saint Augustine
Image
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
Image
The measure of charity may be taken from the want of desires. As desires diminish in the soul, charity increases in it and when it no longer feels any desire, then it possesses perfect charity.
Saint Augustine
Image
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
Image
Seek not to understand that you may believe, but believe that you may understand.
Saint Augustine
Image
If you should ask me what are the ways of God, I would tell you that the first is humility, the second is humility, and the third is humility. Not that there are no other precepts to give, but if humility does not preceed all that we do, our efforts are fruitless.
Saint Augustine
Image
Doubt is but another element of faith.
Saint Augustine
Image
If you believe what you like in the gospels, and reject what you don't like, it is not the gospel you believe, but yourself.
Saint Augustine
Image
God is not what you imagine or what you think you understand. If you understand you have failed.
Saint Augustine
Image
Better that I find you, God, and leave the questions unanswered, than to find the answers without finding you.
Saint Augustine
Image
The world's verdict is conclusive.
Saint Augustine
Image
When the king asked him what he meant by infesting the sea, the pirate defiantly replied: The same as you do when you infest the whole world but because I do it with a little ship I am called a robber, and because you do it with a great fleet, you are an emperor.
Saint Augustine
Image
There is something in humility which, strangely enough, exalts the heart, and something in pride which debases it.
Saint Augustine
Image
The human race is inquisitive about other people's lives, but negligent to correct their own.
Saint Augustine
Image
Unjust laws aren't laws at all.
Saint Augustine
Image
God loves each of us as if there were only one of us.
Saint Augustine
