More quotes by Saint Augustine
For where I found Truth, there found I my God, the Truth itself which since I learnt, I have not forgotten.
Saint Augustine
AugustineThe wounds of a friend are better than the kisses of an enemy. To love with sternness is better than to deceive with gentleness.... In Luke [14:23] it is written: Compel people to come in! By threats of the wrath of God, the Father draws souls to his Son.
Saint Augustine
If a parricide is more wicked than anyone who commits homicide-because he kills not merely a man but a near relative-without doubt worse still is he who kills himself, because there is none nearer to a man than himself.
Saint Augustine
Give what You command and command what You will.
Saint Augustine
...If humility does not precede all that we do, our efforts are fruitless.
Saint Augustine
The human race is inquisitive about other people's lives, but negligent to correct their own.
Saint Augustine
What difference, if you are mistaken? For if I am mistaken, I am. For he who is not, assuredly cannot be mistaken and therefore I am, if I am mistaken. Therefore because I am if I am mistaken, how am I mistaken that I am, when it is sure that I am, if I am mistaken.
Saint Augustine
He loves Thee too little, who loves anything together with Thee, which he loves not for Thy sake.
Saint Augustine
Since love grows within you, so beauty grows. For love is the beauty of the soul.
Saint Augustine
Heaven forbid that we should believe in such a way as not to accept or seek reasons, since we could not even believe if we did not possess rational souls.
Saint Augustine
Let us leave a little room for reflection in our lives, room too for silence. Let us look within ourselves and see whether there is some delightful hidden place inside where we can be free of noise and argument. Let us hear the Word of God in stillness and perhaps we will then come to understand it.
Saint Augustine
For whenever unbaptized persons die confessing Christ, this confession is of the same efficacy for the remission of sins as if they were washed in the sacred font of baptism.
Saint Augustine
Why then be perverted and follow thy flesh? Be it converted and follow thee.
Saint Augustine
Thus the good christian should beware of mathematicians and all those who make false prophecies, however much they may in fact speak the truth lest, being in league with the devil, they may deceive errant souls into making common cause.
Saint Augustine
I thought that continence was a matter of our own strength, and I knew that I had not the strength: for in my utter foolishness I did not know the word of Your Scripture that none can be continent unless You give it.
Saint Augustine
Nothing so clearly distinguishes a spiritual man as his treatment of an erring brother.
Saint Augustine
Because I do it with one small ship, I am called a terrorist. You do it with a whole fleet and are called an emperor.
Saint Augustine
It is no advantage to be near the light if the eyes are closed.
Saint Augustine
The same thing which is now called Christian religion existed among the ancients. They have begun to call 'Christian' the true religion which existed before.
Saint Augustine
One generation and another generation the generation by which we are made the faithful, and are born again by baptism the generation by which we shall rise again from the dead, and shall live with the Angels for ever.
Saint Augustine
