More quotes by 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
Just as it is agreed that we all wish to be happy, so it is that we all wish to be wise, since no one without wisdom is happy.
Saint Augustine
Beware of despairing about yourself: you are commanded to put your trust in God, and not in yourself.
Saint Augustine
Keep on adding, keep on walking, keep on progressing: do not delay on the road, do not go back, do not deviate.
Saint Augustine
Men go forth to wonder at the height of mountains, the huge waves of the sea, the broad flow of the ocean, the course of the stars-and forget to wonder at themselves. Beware of despairing about yourself: you are commanded to put your trust in God, and not in yourself.
Saint Augustine
It seems to me that an unjust law is no law at all.
Saint Augustine
Seek not to understand that you may believe, but believe that you may understand.
Saint Augustine

Saint Augustine
What is grace? I know until you ask me when you ask me, I do not know.
Saint Augustine
In my deepest wound I saw your glory, and it dazzled me.
Saint Augustine
Whoever possesses God is happy.
Saint Augustine
In order to discover the character of people we have only to observe what they love.
Saint Augustine
A man may lose the good things of this life against his will but if he loses the eternal blessings, he does so with his own consent.
Saint Augustine
Without God, man cannot, and without man, God will not.
Saint Augustine
If you are silent, be silent out of love. If you speak, speak out of love.
Saint Augustine
They, then, who are destined to die, need not be careful to inquire what death they are to die, but into what place death will usher them.
Saint Augustine
Love has reasons that reason knows not.
Saint Augustine
A very weighty argument is this namely, that neither does the light which descends from thence, chiefly upon the world , mix itself with anything, nor admit of dirtiness or pollution, but remains entirely, and in all things that are, free from defilement, admixture, and suffering.
Saint Augustine
For a sentence is not complete unless each word, once its syllables have been pronounced, gives way to make room for the next...They are set up on the course of their existence, and the faster they climb towards its zenith, the more they hasten towards the point where they exist no more.
Saint Augustine
Charity is no substitute for justice withheld.
Saint Augustine
