More quotes by Saint Augustine
Beauty is the brilliance of truth.
Saint Augustine
Recognize in this bread what hung on the cross, and in this chalice what flowed from His side... whatever was in many and varied ways announced beforehand in the sacrifices of the Old Testament pertains to this one sacrifice which is revealed in the New Testament.
Saint Augustine
Is any man skillful enough to have fashioned himself?
Saint Augustine
Just think of the illimitable abundance and the marvelous loveliness of light, or of the beauty of the sun and moon and stars.
Saint Augustine
Should you ask me what is the first thing in religion, I should reply that the first, second, and third thing therein is humility.
Saint Augustine
Do you know who the upright of heart are? They are those who wish what God wishes. Therefore, do not try to twist God's will to you own but correct your will to that of God. The will of God is a rule of conduct. By it you have the means of being converted and of correcting your evil ways.
Saint Augustine
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
What grace is meant to do is to help good people, not to escape their sufferings, but to bear them with a stout heart, with a fortitude that finds its strength in faith.
Saint Augustine
Lord, thou madest us for thyself, and we can find no rest till we find rest in thee.
Saint Augustine
Why then be perverted and follow thy flesh? Be it converted and follow thee.
Saint Augustine
How high a price we pay for the burden of habit! I am fitted for life here where I do not want to be, I want to live there but am unfit for it, and on both counts I am miserable.
Saint Augustine
Believe in order to Understand and Understand in order to Believe
Saint Augustine
God grants us not always what we ask so as to bestow something preferable.
Saint Augustine
You are what you love.
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
The heart of man is restless until he finds rest in Thee.
Saint Augustine
I was in misery, and misery is the state of every soul overcome by friendship with mortal things and lacerated when they are lost. Then the soul becomes aware of the misery which is its actual condition even before it loses them.
Saint Augustine
A young man had become possessed by a devil. The thing within him burst into loud lamentation and departed from the man. At once the youth's eye fell out on his cheek, and the whole of the pupil which had been black became white.
Saint Augustine
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
The argument is at an end.
Saint Augustine
