More quotes by Saint Augustine

Image
There is no health in those who are displeased by an element in Your creation, just as there was none in me when I was displeased by many things You had made. Because my soul didn't dare to say that my God displeased me, it refused to attribute to You whatever was displeasing.
Saint Augustine
Image
Our bodies are shaped to bear children, and our lives are a working out of the processes of creation. All our ambitions and intelligence are beside that great elemental point.
Saint Augustine
Image
Two works of mercy set a person free: Forgive and you will be forgiven, and give and you will receive.
Saint Augustine
Image
Great are those two gifts, wisdom and continence: wisdom, forsooth, whereby we are formed in the knowledge of God continence whereby we are not conformed to this world.
Saint Augustine

What is grace? I know until you ask me when you ask me, I do not know.
Saint Augustine
Image
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
Image
Bad company is like a nail driven into a post, which, after the first and second blow, may be drawn out with little difficulty but being once driven up to the head, the pincers cannot take hold to draw it out, but which can only be done by the destruction of the wood.
Saint Augustine
Image

Saint Augustine
Image
He that is jealous is not in love.
Saint Augustine
Image
Don't go outside get back to yourself, in the inner man lies the Truth.
Saint Augustine
Image
One never errs more safely than when one errs by too much loving the truth.
Saint Augustine
Image
Do you wish to be great? Then begin by being little. 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. Modest humility is beauty's crown.
Saint Augustine
Image
For, were it not good that evil things should also exist, the omnipotent God would almost certainly not allow evil to be, since beyond doubt it is just as easy for Him not to allow what He does not will, as for Him to do what He will.
Saint Augustine
Image
The Holy Scriptures are our letters from home.
Saint Augustine
Image
Even in waging war, cherish the spirit of peace-maker that, by conquering those whom you attack, you may lead them back to the advantages of peace.
Saint Augustine
Image
Don't let your life give evidence against your tongue. Sing with your voices... sing also with your conduct.
Saint Augustine
Image
Let him who desires to be harsh in making demands upon his debtors consider that he is God’s debtor.
Saint Augustine
Image
Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a teardrop.
Saint Augustine
Image
Who can map out the various forces at play in one soul? Man is a great depth, O Lord. The hairs of his head are easier by far to count than his feeling, the movements of his heart.
Saint Augustine
Image
Moreover, from the time when He said, 'Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of heaven' and again, 'He that loseth his life for my sake shall find it ' no one becomes a member of Christ except it be either by baptism in Christ, or death for Christ.
