Image
The people who remained victorious were less like conquerors than conquered.
Saint Augustine
Image
Wonderful is the depth of thy words, whose surface is before us, gently leading on the little ones: and yet a wonderful deepness, O my God, a wonderful deepness. It is awe to look into it even an awfulness of honour, and a trembling of love.
Saint Augustine
Image
God is not greater if you reverence Him, but you are greater if you serve Him.
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
Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a teardrop.
Saint Augustine
Image
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
Image
Our life is a gymnasium of desire.... When Christians say God, what do we wish to express? This word is all that we yearn for.

Image
A wanton eye is a messenger of an unchaste heart.
Saint Augustine
Image
Drunkenness is a flattering devil, a sweet poison, a pleasant sin, which whosoever hath, hath not himself, which whosoever doth commit, doth not commit sin, but he himself is wholly sin.
Saint Augustine
Image
Someone who knows enough to become the owner of a tree, and gives thanks to you for the benefits it brings him, is in a better state, even if ignorant of its height in feet and the extent of its spread, than another who measures and counts all its branches but neither owns it nor knows its creator nor loves him.
Saint Augustine
Image
Except he be willing, man cannot believe.
Saint Augustine
Image
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
Image
Let him who desires to be harsh in making demands upon his debtors consider that he is God’s debtor.
Saint Augustine
Image
Education is the food of youth, the delight of old age, the ornament of prosperity, the refuge and comfort of adversity, and the provocation to grace in the soul.
Saint Augustine
Image
People travel to wonder at the height of mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long courses of rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motion of the stars and they pass by themselves without wondering.
Saint Augustine
Image
Thou movest us to delight in praising Thee for Thou hast formed us for Thyself, and our hearts are restless till they find rest in Thee.
Saint Augustine
Image
Give me yourself, O my God, give yourself back to me. Lo, I love you, but if my love is too mean, let me love more passionately. I cannot gauge my love, nor know how far it fails, how much more love I need for my life to set its course straight into your arms, never swerving until hidden in the covert of your face.
Saint Augustine
Image
If we tread our vices under our feet, we make of them a ladder by which to rise to higher things.
Saint Augustine
