He was created of a mother whom He created. He was carried by hands that He formed. He cried in the manger in wordless infancy. He, the Word, without whom all human eloquence is mute.

More quotes by Saint Augustine
The sole purpose of life is to gain merit for life in eternity.
Saint Augustine
O Lord, grant that I may do Thy will as if it were my will, so that Thou mayest do my will as if it were Thy will.
Saint Augustine
Nothing whatever pertaining to godliness and real holiness can be accomplished without grace .
Saint Augustine
When large numbers of people share their joy in common, the happiness of each is greater because each adds fuel to the other's flame.
Saint Augustine
We must be on our guard against giving interpretations which are hazardous or opposed to science, and so exposing the word of God to the ridicule of unbelievers.
Saint Augustine
We count on God's mercy for our past mistakes, on God's love for our present needs, on God's sovereignty for our future.
Saint Augustine
Where love is, what can be wanting? Where it is not, what can possibly be profitable?
Saint Augustine
Let us, on both sides, lay aside all arrogance. Let us not, on either side, claim that we have already discovered the truth. Let us seek it together as something which is known to neither of us. For then only may we seek it, lovingly and tranquilly, if there be no bold presumption that it is already discovered and possessed.
Saint Augustine
If you should ask me what are the ways of God, I would tell you that the first is humility, the second is humility, and the third is humility. Not that there are no other precepts to give, but if humility does not preceed all that we do, our efforts are fruitless.
Saint Augustine
Modo, et modo, non habebent modum. By-and-by has no end.
Saint Augustine
For if it is not lawful to take the law into our own hands and slay even a guilty person, whose death no public sentence has warranted. Then certainly he who kills himself is a homicide, and so much the guiltier of his own death as he was more innocent of that offence for which he doomed himself to die.
Saint Augustine
Your persistent longing is your persistent voice. But when love grows cold, the heart grows silent. Burning love is the outcry of the heart! If you are filled with longing all the time, you will keep crying out, and if your love perseveres, your cry will be heard without fail.
Saint Augustine
This is the very perfection of a man, to find out his own imperfections.
Saint Augustine
The honors of this world, what are they but puff, and emptiness, and peril of falling?
Saint Augustine
Whatever skills I have acquired, whatever gifts I have been given, I place them at Your service.
Saint Augustine
Fill yourselves first and then only will you be able to give to others.
Saint Augustine
Love and say it with your life.
Saint Augustine
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
For if God is man's chief good, which you cannot deny, it clearly follows, since to seek the chief good is to live well, that to live well is nothing else but to love God with all the heart, with all the soul, with all the mind.
Saint Augustine
Temperance is a disposition that restrains our desires for things which it is base to desire.
Saint Augustine
