More quotes by Saint Augustine
Whoever possesses God is happy.
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 people who remained victorious were less like conquerors than conquered.
Saint Augustine
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
Why then be perverted and follow thy flesh? Be it converted and follow thee.
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
God's faithful servant has no desire for people to say or to give to him, or what he likes to hear or see, for his first and greatest aim is to hear what is most pleasing to God.
Saint Augustine
This very moment I may, if I desire, become the friend of God.
Saint Augustine
The truth is like a lion you don’t have to defend it. Let it loose it will defend itself.
Saint Augustine
The Holy Scriptures are our letters from home.
Saint Augustine
Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden.
Saint Augustine
Let us sing a new song, not with our lips, but with our lives.
Saint Augustine
That there should be some fire even after this life is not incredible, and it can be inquired into and either be discovered or left hidden whether some of the faithful may be saved, some more slowly and some more quickly in the greater or lesser degree in which they loved the good things that perish, through a certain purgatorial fire.
Saint Augustine
God grants us not always what we ask so as to bestow something preferable.
Saint Augustine
He who denies the existence of God, has some reason for wishing that God did not exist.
Saint Augustine
God is not greater if you reverence Him, but you are greater if you serve Him.
Saint Augustine
I believe in order to understand
Saint Augustine
It was in His flesh that Christ walked among us and it is His flesh that He has given us to eat for our salvation but no one eats of this flesh without having first adored it . . . and not only do we not sin in thus adoring it, but we would be sinning if we did not do so.
Saint Augustine
When the king asked him what he meant by infesting the sea, the pirate defiantly replied: The same as you do when you infest the whole world but because I do it with a little ship I am called a robber, and because you do it with a great fleet, you are an emperor.
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
