More quotes by Saint Augustine
To wisdom belongs the intellectual apprehension of eternal things to knowledge, the rational knowledge of temporal things.
Saint Augustine
You have found that you were more secure before you accumulated so much. See what greed has imposed on you: You have filled your house and now you fear burglars. You have hoarded money and lost sleep. See what greed has commanded you: Do this! And you did it.
Saint Augustine
Our whole business in this Life is to restore to health the eye of the heart whereby God may be seen.
Saint Augustine
The Devil invented gambling.
Saint Augustine
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
Christ was born of a woman without the man.
Saint Augustine
Whoever is still seeking for miracles so that he may believe is himself a wonder, who does not believe while the world around him does.
Saint Augustine
Longing desire prayeth always, though the tongue be silent. If thou art ever longing, thou art ever praying.
Saint Augustine
It is better that the truth be known than that scandal be covered up.
Saint Augustine
Modo, et modo, non habebent modum. By-and-by has no end.
Saint Augustine
What does love look like? It has the hands to help others. It has the feet to hasten to the poor and needy. It has eyes to see misery and want. It has the ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of men. That is what love looks like.
Saint Augustine
The entire life of a good Christian is in fact an exercise of holy desire. You do not yet see what you long for, but the very act of desiring prepares you, so that when he comes you may see and be utterly satisfied.
Saint Augustine
The wicked exist in this world either to be converted or that through them the good may exercise patience.
Saint Augustine
A young man had become possessed by a devil. The thing within him burst into loud lamentation and departed from the man. At once the youth's eye fell out on his cheek, and the whole of the pupil which had been black became white.
Saint Augustine
How high a price we pay for the burden of habit! I am fitted for life here where I do not want to be, I want to live there but am unfit for it, and on both counts I am miserable.
Saint Augustine
Some people, in order to discover God, read books. But there is a great book: the very appearance of created things. Look above you! Look below you! Read it. God, whom you want to discover, never wrote that book with ink. Instead, He set before your eyes the things that He had made. Can you ask for a louder voice than that?
Saint Augustine
Do not be afraid to throw yourself on the Lord! He will not draw back and let you fall! Put your worries aside and throw yourself on him He will welcome you and heal you.
Saint Augustine
If God is, why is there evil? But if God is not, why is there good?
Saint Augustine
I learned most, not from those who taught me but from those who talked with me.
Saint Augustine
If a parricide is more wicked than anyone who commits homicide-because he kills not merely a man but a near relative-without doubt worse still is he who kills himself, because there is none nearer to a man than himself.
Saint Augustine
