More quotes by Saint Augustine
If two friends ask you to judge a dispute, don't accept, because you will lose one friend on the other hand, if two strangers come with the same request, accept because you will gain one friend.
Saint Augustine
Therefore once for all this short command is given to you. 'Love and do what you will.' If you keep silent, keep silent by love if you speak, speak by love if you correct, correct by love if you pardon, pardon by love: let love be rooted in you, and from the root nothing but good can grow.
Saint Augustine
The good man, though a slave, is free the wicked, though he reigns, is a slave.
Saint Augustine
Patience is the companion of wisdom.
Saint Augustine
Do you wish to be great? Then begin by being. 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.
Saint Augustine
Two criminals were crucified with Christ. One was saved do not despair. One was not do not presume.
Saint Augustine
Love is the beauty of the soul.
Saint Augustine
The punishment of every disordered mind is its own disorder.
Saint Augustine
Will is to grace as the horse is to the rider.
Saint Augustine
I held my heart back from positively accepting anything, since I was afraid of another fall, and in this condition of suspense I was being all the more killed.
Saint Augustine
There is something in humility which, strangely enough, exalts the heart, and something in pride which debases it.
Saint Augustine
Humility is first, second and third in Christianity.
Saint Augustine
I was in misery, and misery is the state of every soul overcome by friendship with mortal things and lacerated when they are lost. Then the soul becomes aware of the misery which is its actual condition even before it loses them.
Saint Augustine
Man has been naturally so created that it is advantageous for him to be submissive, but disastrous for him to follow his own will, and not the will of his creator.
Saint Augustine
In order to discover the character of people we have only to observe what they love.
Saint Augustine
Men go forth to wonder at the height of mountains, the huge waves of the sea, the broad flow of the ocean, the course of the stars-and forget to wonder at themselves. Beware of despairing about yourself: you are commanded to put your trust in God, and not in yourself.
Saint Augustine
We speak, but it is God who teaches.
Saint Augustine
The cost of obedience is small compared with the cost of disobedience.
Saint Augustine
Drunkenness is a flattering devil, a sweet poison, a pleasant sin, which whosoever hath, hath not himself, which whosoever doth commit, doth not commit sin, but he himself is wholly sin.
Saint Augustine
We do not sin when we adore Christ in the Eucharist we do sin when we do not adore Christ in the Eucharist.
Saint Augustine
