More quotes by Saint Augustine
All diseases of Christians are to be ascribed to demons chiefly do they torment freshly-baptized Christians, yea, even the guiltless new-born infants.
Saint Augustine
Lord, thou madest us for thyself, and we can find no rest till we find rest in thee.
Saint Augustine
God is not what you imagine or what you think you understand. If you understand you have failed.
Saint Augustine
Love all men, even your enemies love them, not because they are your brothers, but that they may become your brothers. Thus you will ever burn with fraternal love, both for him who is already your brother and for your enemy, that he may by loving become your brother.
Saint Augustine
There is no health in those who are displeased by an element in Your creation, just as there was none in me when I was displeased by many things You had made. Because my soul didn't dare to say that my God displeased me, it refused to attribute to You whatever was displeasing.
Saint Augustine

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
The measure of love is to love without measuring.
Saint Augustine

Saint Augustine
Make me a captive Lord, then I shall be truly free.
Saint Augustine

Saint Augustine
Cantare amantis est ... Singing belongs to one who loves. (s. 336, 1 – PL 38, 1472).
Saint Augustine
Desire only God, and your heart will be satisfied.
Saint Augustine
Although among heretics and schismatics there is the same Baptism, nevertheless, the remission of sins is not operative among them because of the very rottenness of discord and wickedness of dissension ... Baptism was in them, but it did not profit them outside the Church ... Outside the Church, Baptism works death because of discord.
Saint Augustine
Great are those two gifts, wisdom and continence: wisdom, forsooth, whereby we are formed in the knowledge of God continence whereby we are not conformed to this world.
Saint Augustine
Fasting cleanses the soul, raises the mind, subjects one’s flesh to the spirit, renders the heart contrite and humble, scatters the clouds of concupiscence, quenches the fire of lust, and kindles the true light of chastity.
Saint Augustine
Anger is a weed hate is a tree
