Saint Augustine

Therefore once for all this short command is given to you. 'Love and do what you will.' If you keep silent, keep silent by love if you speak, speak by love if you correct, correct by love if you pardon, pardon by love: let love be rooted in you, and from the root nothing but good can grow.
Saint Augustine

Every morning you put on your clothes to cover your nakedness and protect your body from inclement weather. Why don't you also clothe your soul with the garment of faith?

Saint Augustine
Image
Someone who knows enough to become the owner of a tree, and gives thanks to you for the benefits it brings him, is in a better state, even if ignorant of its height in feet and the extent of its spread, than another who measures and counts all its branches but neither owns it nor knows its creator nor loves him.
Saint Augustine
Image
How can the past and future be, when the past no longer is, and the future is not yet? As for the present, if it were always present and never moved on to become the past, it would not be time, but eternity.
Saint Augustine
Image
The love of our neighbor hath its bounds in each man's love of himself.
Saint Augustine
