Love is the beauty of the soul.
Saint Augustine
Image
Thou must be emptied of that wherewith thou art full, that thou mayest be filled with that whereof thou art empty.
Saint Augustine
Image
The Lord says, 'Whoever has, to him shall be given' (Mt. 13:12). He will give, then, to those who have that is to say, if they use freely and cheerfully what they have received, He will add to and perfect His gifts.
Saint Augustine
Image
You have found that you were more secure before you accumulated so much. See what greed has imposed on you: You have filled your house and now you fear burglars. You have hoarded money and lost sleep. See what greed has commanded you: Do this! And you did it.
Saint Augustine
Image
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
Image
Try to acquire the virtues you believe lacking in your brothers. Then you will no longer see their defects, for you will no longer have them yourself.
Saint Augustine
Image
How can the past and future be, when the past no longer is, and the future is not yet? As for the present, if it were always present and never moved on to become the past, it would not be time, but eternity.
Saint Augustine
Image
This is the very perfection of a man, to find out his own imperfections.
Saint Augustine
Image
Can any praise be worthy of the Lord's majesty?
Saint Augustine
Image
If bodies please thee, praise God on occasion of them, and turn back thy love upon their Maker lest in these things which please thee, thou displease. If souls please thee, be they loved in God: for they too are mutable, but in Him they are firmly established.
Saint Augustine
Image
We must understand then, that even though God doesn't always give us what we want, He always gives us what we need for our salvation.
Saint Augustine
Image
When the king asked him what he meant by infesting the sea, the pirate defiantly replied: The same as you do when you infest the whole world but because I do it with a little ship I am called a robber, and because you do it with a great fleet, you are an emperor.
Saint Augustine
Image
For it is better to suffer a little want than to have too much.
Saint Augustine
Image
The same divine authority that forbids the killing of a human being establishes certain exceptions, as when God authorizes killing by a general law or when He gives an explicit commission to an individual for a limited time.
Saint Augustine
Image
Do you wish to be great? Then begin by being. Do you desire to construct a vast and lofty fabric? Think first about the foundations of humility. The higher your structure is to be, the deeper must be its foundation.
Saint Augustine
Image
Temporal punishments are suffered by some in this life only, by some after death, by some both here and hereafter, but all of them before that last and strictest judgment. But not all who suffer temporal punishments after death will come to eternal punishments, which are to follow after that judgment.
Saint Augustine
Image
The world's verdict is conclusive.
Saint Augustine
Image
Six is a number perfect in itself, and not because God created the world in six days rather the contrary is true. God created the world in six days because this number is perfect, and it would remain perfect, even if the work of the six days did not exist.
Saint Augustine
Image
There never can have been, and never can be, and there never shall be any sin without pride.
Saint Augustine
Image
I fell away from you, my God, and I went astray, too far astray from you, the support of my youth, and I became to myself a land of want.
Saint Augustine
