Image
True happiness is to rejoice in the truth, for to rejoice in the truth is to rejoice in You, O God, who are the truth... Those who think that there is another kind of happiness look for joy elsewhere, but theirs is not true joy.
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
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
In order to discover the character of people we have only to observe what they love.
Saint Augustine
Image
You don't love in your enemies what they are, but what you would have them become by your prayers.
Saint Augustine
Image
Don't go outside get back to yourself, in the inner man lies the Truth.
Saint Augustine
Image
For so it is, O Lord my God, I measure it! But what it is I measure, I do not know.
Saint Augustine
Image
What is grace? I know until you ask me when you ask me, I do not know.
Saint Augustine
Image
God is more truly imagined than expressed, and He exists more truly than He is imagined.
Saint Augustine
Image
Humility is the foundation of all the other virtues hence, in the soul in which this virtue does not exist there cannot be any other virtue except in mere appearance.
Saint Augustine
Image
Not to give to those in need what is to you superfluous is akin to fraud.
Saint Augustine
Image
The one who sings, prays twice.
Saint Augustine
Image
That your enemies have been created is God's doing that they hate you and wish to ruin you is their own doing. What should you say about them in your mind? Lord be merciful to them, forgive them their sins, put the fear of God in them, change them! You are loving in them not what they are, but what you would have them to become.
Saint Augustine
Image
Your wisdom should be without pride.
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
Charity is no substitute for justice withheld.
Saint Augustine
Image
Is any man skillful enough to have fashioned himself?
Saint Augustine
Image
I will not live an instant that I do not live in love. Whoever loves does all things without suffering, or, suffering, loves his suffering.
Saint Augustine
Image
I would not believe in the Gospel, if the authority of the Catholic Church did not bid me to do so.
Saint Augustine
Image
If bodies please thee, praise God on occasion of them, and turn back thy love upon their Maker lest in these things which please thee, thou displease. If souls please thee, be they loved in God: for they too are mutable, but in Him they are firmly established.
Saint Augustine
