How high a price we pay for the burden of habit! I am fitted for life here where I do not want to be, I want to live there but am unfit for it, and on both counts I am miserable.
Saint Augustine
Image
This entire most beautiful order of good things is going to pass away after its measure has been exhausted for both morning and evening were made in them.
Saint Augustine
Image
Oh, beauty, ever ancient and ever new.
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
All those who belong to Jesus Christ are fastened with Him to the cross.
Saint Augustine
Image
Without God, man cannot, and without man, God will not.
