You never go away from us, yet we have difficulty in returning to You. Come, Lord, stir us up and call us back. Kindle and seize us. Be our fire and our sweetness. Let us love. Let us run.

More quotes by Saint Augustine
For if God is man's chief good, which you cannot deny, it clearly follows, since to seek the chief good is to live well, that to live well is nothing else but to love God with all the heart, with all the soul, with all the mind.
Saint Augustine
If a shameless woman expects to be defiled and then dies of her fierce love because you do not consent, will chastity also be homicide?
Saint Augustine
He pleaseth God whom God pleaseth.
Saint Augustine
The Holy Scriptures are our letters from home.
Saint Augustine
All those who belong to Jesus Christ are fastened with Him to the cross.
Saint Augustine
The people who remained victorious were less like conquerors than conquered.
Saint Augustine
You have enemies. For who can live on this earth without them? Take heed to yourselves: love them. In no way can your enemy so hurt you by his violence, as you hurt yourself if you love him not.
Saint Augustine
There are wolves within, and there are sheep without.
Saint Augustine
Do you wish to be great? Then begin by being little. Do you desire to construct a vast and lofty fabric? Think first about the foundations of humility. The higher your structure is to be, the deeper must be its foundation. Modest humility is beauty's crown.
Saint Augustine
To my God a heart of flame To my fellow man a heart of love To myself a heart of steel.
Saint Augustine
God has no need of your money, but the poor have. You give it to the poor, and God receives it.
Saint Augustine
The sole purpose of life is to gain merit for life in eternity.
Saint Augustine
Why persist in walking difficult and toilsome paths? There is no repose where you are seeking it. Search as you like, it is not where you are looking. You are seeking a happy life in the realm of death, and it will not be found there. How could life be happy where there is no life at all?
Saint Augustine
We count on God's mercy for our past mistakes, on God's love for our present needs, on God's sovereignty for our future.
Saint Augustine
Lord, teach me to know you, and to know myself.
Saint Augustine
Thou must be emptied of that wherewith thou art full, that thou mayest be filled with that whereof thou art empty.
Saint Augustine
The reward of patience Is patience.
Saint Augustine
Mary heard God's word and kept it, and so she is blessed. She kept God's truth in her mind, a nobler thing than carrying his body in her womb.
Saint Augustine
Complete abstinence is easier than perfect moderation.
Saint Augustine
The one who sings, prays twice.
Saint Augustine
