Saint Augustine
Repentant tears wash out the stain of guilt.
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
It is the function of perfection to make one know one's imperfection.
Saint Augustine

Saint Augustine
There never can have been, and never can be, and there never shall be any sin without pride.
Saint Augustine
Except he be willing, man cannot believe.
Saint Augustine
The wicked exist in this world either to be converted or that through them the good may exercise patience.
Saint Augustine

No one can begin a new life, unless he repent of the old.
Saint Augustine
The words printed here are concepts. You must go through the experiences.
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
If God seems slow in responding, it is because He is preparing a better gift. He will not deny us. God withholds what you are not yet ready for. He wants you to have a lively desire for His greatest gifts. All of which is to say, pray always and do not lose heart.
Saint Augustine
Disturbers are to be rebuked, the low spirited to be encouraged, the infirm to be supported, objectors confuted, the treacherous guarded against, the unskilled taught, the lazy aroused, the contentious restrained, the haughty repressed, the poor relieved, the oppressed liberated, the good approved, the evil borne with, and all are to be loved!
Saint Augustine
Before God can deliver us we must undeceive ourselves.
Saint Augustine
Someone who knows enough to become the owner of a tree, and gives thanks to you for the benefits it brings him, is in a better state, even if ignorant of its height in feet and the extent of its spread, than another who measures and counts all its branches but neither owns it nor knows its creator nor loves him.
Saint Augustine
What are kingdoms without justice? They're just gangs of bandits.
Saint Augustine
