More quotes by Saint Augustine
Lord, thou madest us for thyself, and we can find no rest till we find rest in thee.
Saint Augustine
We take for granted the slow miracle whereby water in the irrigation of a vineyard becomes wine. It is only when Christ turns water into wine, in a quick motion, as it were, that we stand amazed.
Saint Augustine
Whoever is still seeking for miracles so that he may believe is himself a wonder, who does not believe while the world around him does.
Saint Augustine
Now the Apostle, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, says, Knowledge inflates: but love edifies. The only correct inerpretation of this saying is that knowledge is valuable when charity informs it. Without charity, knowledge inflates that is, it exalts man to an arrogance which is nothing but a kind of windy emptiness.
Saint Augustine
Never judge a philosophy by its abuse.
Saint Augustine
Charity is no substitute for justice withheld.
Saint Augustine
What are kingdoms without justice? They're just gangs of bandits.
Saint Augustine
Even in waging war, cherish the spirit of peace-maker that, by conquering those whom you attack, you may lead them back to the advantages of peace.
Saint Augustine
While the best men are guided by love, most mean are still goaded by fear.
Saint Augustine
It is not often that we use language correctly usually we use it incorrectly, though we understand each others meaning.
Saint Augustine
Recognize in this bread what hung on the cross, and in this chalice what flowed from His side... whatever was in many and varied ways announced beforehand in the sacrifices of the Old Testament pertains to this one sacrifice which is revealed in the New Testament.
Saint Augustine
To wisdom belongs the intellectual apprehension of eternal things to knowledge, the rational knowledge of temporal things.
Saint Augustine
Who can control this when its appetite is aroused? No one! In the very movement of this appetite, then, it has no mode that responds to the decisions of the will ... Yet what he wishes he cannot accomplish ... In the very movement of the appetite, it has no mode corresponding to the decision of the will.
Saint Augustine
Don't go outside get back to yourself, in the inner man lies the Truth.
Saint Augustine
If God is, why is there evil? But if God is not, why is there good?
Saint Augustine
To fall in love with God is the greatest romance to seek him the greatest adventure to find him, the greatest human achievement.
Saint Augustine
The mere change of custom, even though it may be of advantage in some respects, unsettles men by reason of the novelty: therefore, if it brings no advantage, it does much harm by unprofitably disturbing the Church.
Saint Augustine
God is always trying to give good things to us, but our hands are too full to receive them.
Saint Augustine
What you are must always displease you, if you would attain to that which you are not.
Saint Augustine
God is not greater if you reverence Him, but you are greater if you serve Him.
Saint Augustine
