More quotes by Saint Augustine

Image
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
Image
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
Image
If God is, why is there evil? But if God is not, why is there good?
Saint Augustine
Image
Although God is all powerful, He is unable to give more though supremely wise, He knows not how to give more though vastly rich, He has not more to give.
Saint Augustine
Image
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
Image
Your persistent longing is your persistent voice. But when love grows cold, the heart grows silent. Burning love is the outcry of the heart! If you are filled with longing all the time, you will keep crying out, and if your love perseveres, your cry will be heard without fail.
Saint Augustine
Image
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

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
Image
We make ourselves a ladder out of our vices if we trample the vices themselves underfoot.
Saint Augustine
Image
In the Mass the blood of Christ flows anew for sinners.
Saint Augustine
Image
He pleaseth God whom God pleaseth.
Saint Augustine
Image
O Lord, grant that I may do Thy will as if it were my will, so that Thou mayest do my will as if it were Thy will.
Saint Augustine
Image
I want my friend to miss me as long as I miss him.
Saint Augustine
Image
Temperance is a disposition that restrains our desires for things which it is base to desire.
Saint Augustine
Image
He loves Thee too little, who loves anything together with Thee, which he loves not for Thy sake.
Saint Augustine
Image
Do what you can and pray for what you cannot yet do.
Saint Augustine
Image
Charity is no substitute for justice withheld.
Saint Augustine

Thou hast created us for Thyself, and our heart is not quiet until it rests in Thee.
