Image
The world's verdict is conclusive.
Saint Augustine
Image
The people who remained victorious were less like conquerors than conquered.
Saint Augustine
Image
I asked the whole frame of the world about my God and he answered, I am not He, but He made me.
Saint Augustine
Image
Woman was merely man's helpmate, a function which pertains to her alone. She is not the image of God but as far as man is concerned, he is by himself the image of God.
Saint Augustine
Image
Unjust laws aren't laws at all.
Saint Augustine
Image
The human race is inquisitive about other people's lives, but negligent to correct their own.
Saint Augustine
Image
Whatever skills I have acquired, whatever gifts I have been given, I place them at Your service.
Saint Augustine
Image
What difference, if you are mistaken? For if I am mistaken, I am. For he who is not, assuredly cannot be mistaken and therefore I am, if I am mistaken. Therefore because I am if I am mistaken, how am I mistaken that I am, when it is sure that I am, if I am mistaken.
Saint Augustine
Image
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
Image
If you excuse yourself in confession, you shut up sin within your soul, and shut out pardon.
Saint Augustine
Image
It is not earthly riches which make us or our sons happy for they must either be lost by us in our lifetime, or be possessed when we are dead, by whom we know not, or perhaps by whom we would not.
Saint Augustine
Image
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
Image
Who would not shudder if he were given the choice of eternal death or life again as a child ? Who would not choose to die ?
Saint Augustine
Image
While the best men are guided by love, most mean are still goaded by fear.
Saint Augustine
Image
Trials and tribulations offer us a chance to make reparation for our past faults and sins. On such occasions the Lord comes to us like a physician to heal the wounds left by our sins. Tribulation is the divine medicine.
Saint Augustine
Image
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
Image
There is no greater invitation to love than loving first.
Saint Augustine
Image
If by fate anyone means the will or power of God, let him keep his meaning but mend his language for fate commonly means a necessary process which will have its way apart from the will of God and men.
Saint Augustine
Image
Better that I find you, God, and leave the questions unanswered, than to find the answers without finding you.
Saint Augustine
Image
Pray as though everything depended on God. Work as though everything depended on you.
Saint Augustine
