More quotes by Saint Augustine
They, then, who are destined to die, need not be careful to inquire what death they are to die, but into what place death will usher them.
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
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
Choose to love whomsoever thou wilt: all else will follow.
Saint Augustine
The Bible was composed in such a way that as beginners mature, its meaning grows with them.
Saint Augustine
Education is the food of youth, the delight of old age, the ornament of prosperity, the refuge and comfort of adversity, and the provocation to grace in the soul.
Saint Augustine
True happiness is to rejoice in the truth, for to rejoice in the truth is to rejoice in You, O God, who are the truth... Those who think that there is another kind of happiness look for joy elsewhere, but theirs is not true joy.
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
The wicked exist in this world either to be converted or that through them the good may exercise patience.
Saint Augustine
Two cities have been formed by two loves: the earthly by the love of self the heavenly by the love of God.
Saint Augustine
Let us sing a new song, not with our lips, but with our lives.
Saint Augustine
Without God, man cannot, and without man, God will not.
Saint Augustine
There never can have been, and never can be, and there never shall be any sin without pride.
Saint Augustine
Temperance is love surrendering itself wholly to Him who is its object courage is love bearing all things gladly for the sake of Him who is its object justice is love serving only Him who is its object, and therefore rightly ruling prudence is love making wise distinction between what hinders and what helps itself.
Saint Augustine
Love has reasons that reason knows not.
Saint Augustine
Who would not shudder if he were given the choice of eternal death or life again as a child ? Who would not choose to die ?
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
What do I love when I love my God?
Saint Augustine
All diseases of Christians are to be ascribed to demons chiefly do they torment freshly-baptized Christians, yea, even the guiltless new-born infants.
Saint Augustine
Heaven forbid that we should believe in such a way as not to accept or seek reasons, since we could not even believe if we did not possess rational souls.
Saint Augustine
