More quotes by Saint Augustine
The honors of this world, what are they but puff, and emptiness, and peril of falling?
Saint Augustine
The measure of love is to love without measuring.
Saint Augustine
People travel to wonder at the height of mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long courses of rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motion of the stars and they pass by themselves without wondering.
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
We made bad use of immortality, and so ended up dying Christ made good use of mortality, so that we might end up living.
Saint Augustine
Beauty is the brilliance of truth.
Saint Augustine
For it is better to suffer a little want than to have too much.
Saint Augustine
What does love look like? It has the hands to help others. It has the feet to hasten to the poor and needy. It has eyes to see misery and want. It has the ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of men. That is what love looks like.
Saint Augustine
When I come to be united to thee with all my being, then there will be no more pain and toil for me, and my life shall be a real life, being wholly filled by thee.
Saint Augustine
He that is jealous is not in love.
Saint Augustine
Give what You command and command what You will.
Saint Augustine
A marriage without children is the world without the sun.
Saint Augustine
It is love that asks, that seeks, that knocks, that finds, and that is faithful to what it finds.
Saint Augustine
He who commends the nature of the soul as the supreme good, and condemns the nature of the flesh as evil, at once both carnally desires the soul, and carnally flies the flesh, because he feels thus from human vanity, not from divine truth.
Saint Augustine
They the hazers or eversores were rightly called Overturners, since they had themselves been first overturned and perverted, tricked by those same devils who were secretly mocking them in the very acts by which they amused themselves in mocking and making fools of others.
Saint Augustine
What you are must always displease you, if you would attain to that which you are not.
Saint Augustine
The mind commands the body and is instantly obeyed. The mind commands itself and meets resistance. The mind commands the hand to move, and it so easy that one hardly distinguishes the order from its execution. Yet mind is mind and hand is body. The mind orders the mind to will. The recipient of the order is itself, yet it does not perform it.
Saint Augustine
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
Punishment, that is the justice for the unjust.
Saint Augustine
I want my friend to miss me as long as I miss him.
Saint Augustine
