More quotes by Saint Augustine
It was in His flesh that Christ walked among us and it is His flesh that He has given us to eat for our salvation but no one eats of this flesh without having first adored it . . . and not only do we not sin in thus adoring it, but we would be sinning if we did not do so.

Saint Augustine
Dilige et quod vis fac. (Love and then what you will, do.)
Saint Augustine
This is the very perfection of a man, to find out his own imperfections.
Saint Augustine
This world's a bubble.
Saint Augustine
No one can begin a new life, unless he repent of the old.
Saint Augustine
Slavery is not penal in character and planned by that law which commands the preservation of the natural order and forbids disturbance.
