More quotes by Saint Augustine
There is no greater invitation to love than loving first.
Saint Augustine
God in his omnipotence could not give more, in His wisdom He knew not how to give more, in His riches He had not more to give, than the Eucharist.
Saint Augustine
Understanding is the wages of faith.
Saint Augustine
The purpose of all wars, is peace.
Saint Augustine
There are wolves within, and there are sheep without.
Saint Augustine
Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden.
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
This awful catastrophe is not the end but the beginning. History does not end so. It is the way its chapters open.
Saint Augustine
Two works of mercy set a person free: Forgive and you will be forgiven, and give and you will receive.
Saint Augustine
Men go forth to wonder at the height of mountains, the huge waves of the sea, the broad flow of the ocean, the course of the stars-and forget to wonder at themselves. Beware of despairing about yourself: you are commanded to put your trust in God, and not in yourself.
Saint Augustine
Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a teardrop.
Saint Augustine
The Holy Scriptures are our letters from home.
Saint Augustine
The one who sings, prays twice.
Saint Augustine
And how shall I call upon my God, my God and Lord, since, when I call for Him, I shall be calling Him to myself? and what room is there within me, whither my God can come into me? whither can God come into me, God who made heaven and earth? is there, indeed, O Lord my God, aught in me that can contain thee?
Saint Augustine
It is better that the truth be known than that scandal be covered up.
Saint Augustine
Doubt is but another element of faith.
Saint Augustine
Cyprian was not issuing a new decree but was keeping to the most solid belief of the Church in order to correct some who thought that infants ought not be baptized before the eighth day after their birth. . . . He agreed with certain of his fellow bishops that a child is able to be duly baptized as soon as he is born.
Saint Augustine
Desire only God, and your heart will be satisfied.
Saint Augustine
We must be on our guard against giving interpretations which are hazardous or opposed to science, and so exposing the word of God to the ridicule of unbelievers.
Saint Augustine
You are my Lord, because You have no need of my goodness.
Saint Augustine
