More quotes by Saint Augustine
One never errs more safely than when one errs by too much loving the truth.
Saint Augustine
What is held by the whole Church, and that not as instituted by Councils, but as a matter of invariable custom, is rightly held to have been handed down by authority.
Saint Augustine
He loves Thee too little, who loves anything together with Thee, which he loves not for Thy sake.
Saint Augustine
He that is jealous is not in love.
Saint Augustine
I do not comprehend all that I am. Is the mind, therefore, too limited to possess itself?
Saint Augustine
If they find a Christian mistaken in a field which they themselves know well and hear him maintaining his foolish opinions about our books, how are they going to believe those books in matters concerning the resurrection of the dead, the hope of eternal life, and the kingdom of heaven.
Saint Augustine
There is no remedy so powerful against the heat of concupiscence as the remembrance of our Savior's Passion. In all my difficulties I never found anything so efficacious as the wounds of Christ: In them I sleep secure from them I derive new life.
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
Punishment, that is the justice for the unjust.
Saint Augustine
Some people, in order to discover God, read books. But there is a great book: the very appearance of created things. Look above you! Look below you! Read it. God, whom you want to discover, never wrote that book with ink. Instead, He set before your eyes the things that He had made. Can you ask for a louder voice than that?
Saint Augustine
It is not in virtue of its liberty that the human will attains to grace, it is much rather by grace that it attains to liberty.
Saint Augustine
Consequently, heretics and schismatics, separated from the unity of this Body, are able to receive the same Sacrament, but with no benefit to themselves indeed, more to their own harm, in that they are judged the more severely rather than being liberated.
Saint Augustine
The one who is good, is free even being a slave the one who is bad remains a slave even being a king.
Saint Augustine
For it is better to suffer a little want than to have too much.
Saint Augustine
Don't let your life give evidence against your tongue. Sing with your voices... sing also with your conduct.
Saint Augustine
Whatever skills I have acquired, whatever gifts I have been given, I place them at Your service.
Saint Augustine
True happiness is to rejoice in the truth, for to rejoice in the truth is to rejoice in You, O God, who are the truth... Those who think that there is another kind of happiness look for joy elsewhere, but theirs is not true joy.
Saint Augustine
Doubt is but another element of faith.
Saint Augustine
He who made thee is made in thee. He is made in thee through whom you were made.... Give milk, O mother, to him who is our food give milk to the bread that comes down from heaven.
Saint Augustine
In what is necessary, unity in what is not necessary, liberty and in all things charity.
Saint Augustine
