Saint Augustine
Image
Though defensive violence will always be 'a sad necessity' in the eyes of men of principle, it would be still more unfortunate if wrongdoers should dominate just men.
Saint Augustine
Image
To wisdom belongs the intellectual apprehension of eternal things to knowledge, the rational knowledge of temporal things.
Saint Augustine
Image
If you excuse yourself in confession, you shut up sin within your soul, and shut out pardon.
Saint Augustine
Image
He who made thee is made in thee. He is made in thee through whom you were made.... Give milk, O mother, to him who is our food give milk to the bread that comes down from heaven.
Saint Augustine
Image
Beware of despairing about yourself: you are commanded to put your trust in God, and not in yourself.
