More quotes by Saint Augustine
Temperance is love surrendering itself wholly to Him who is its object courage is love bearing all things gladly for the sake of Him who is its object justice is love serving only Him who is its object, and therefore rightly ruling prudence is love making wise distinction between what hinders and what helps itself.
Saint Augustine
Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden.
Saint Augustine
If you are silent, be silent out of love. If you speak, speak out of love.
Saint Augustine
I have learnt to love you late, Beauty at once so ancient and so new!
Saint Augustine
I acknowledge Thee, Lord of heaven and earth, and praise Thee for my first rudiments of being, and my infancy, whereof I remember nothing for Thou hast appointed that man should from others guess much as to himself and believe much on the strength of weak females.
Saint Augustine
Cyprian was not issuing a new decree but was keeping to the most solid belief of the Church in order to correct some who thought that infants ought not be baptized before the eighth day after their birth. . . . He agreed with certain of his fellow bishops that a child is able to be duly baptized as soon as he is born.
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
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
God grants us not always what we ask so as to bestow something preferable.
Saint Augustine
Patience is the companion of wisdom.
Saint Augustine
The Bible was composed in such a way that as beginners mature, its meaning grows with them.
Saint Augustine
So you see how endlessly futile and fruitless it would be if we wanted to refute their objections every time they obstinately resolved not to think through what they say but merely to speak, just so long as they contradict our arguments in any way they can.
Saint Augustine
Remove justice, and what are kingdoms but gangs of criminals on a large scale?... A gang is a group of men... in which the plunder is divided according to an agreed convention. If this villainy... acquires territory, establishes a base, captures cities and subdues people, it then openly arrogates to itself the title of kingdom.
Saint Augustine
Seek not to understand that you may believe, but believe that you may understand.
Saint Augustine
Understanding is the wages of faith.
Saint Augustine
Justice being taken away, then, what are kingdoms but great robberies? For what are robberies themselves, but little kingdoms.
Saint Augustine
The wicked exist in this world either to be converted or that through them the good may exercise patience.
Saint Augustine
Thou must be emptied of that wherewith thou art full, that thou mayest be filled with that whereof thou art empty.
Saint Augustine
Why persist in walking difficult and toilsome paths? There is no repose where you are seeking it. Search as you like, it is not where you are looking. You are seeking a happy life in the realm of death, and it will not be found there. How could life be happy where there is no life at all?
Saint Augustine
Our whole business in this Life is to restore to health the eye of the heart whereby God may be seen.
Saint Augustine
