More quotes by Saint Augustine
Because I do it with one small ship, I am called a terrorist. You do it with a whole fleet and are called an emperor.
Saint Augustine
The words printed here are concepts. You must go through the experiences.
Saint Augustine
The mind commands the body and is instantly obeyed. The mind commands itself and meets resistance. The mind commands the hand to move, and it so easy that one hardly distinguishes the order from its execution. Yet mind is mind and hand is body. The mind orders the mind to will. The recipient of the order is itself, yet it does not perform it.
Saint Augustine
I will not live an instant that I do not live in love. Whoever loves does all things without suffering, or, suffering, loves his suffering.
Saint Augustine
Oh, beauty, ever ancient and ever new.
Saint Augustine
It is not that we keep His commandments first and that then He loves but that He loves us and then we keep His commandments. This is that grace which is revealed to the humble but hidden from the proud.
Saint Augustine
For a sentence is not complete unless each word, once its syllables have been pronounced, gives way to make room for the next...They are set up on the course of their existence, and the faster they climb towards its zenith, the more they hasten towards the point where they exist no more.
Saint Augustine
Should you ask me what is the first thing in religion, I should reply that the first, second, and third thing therein is humility.
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
Without God, man cannot, and without man, God will not.
Saint Augustine
So while he made you without you, he doesn't justify you without you.
Saint Augustine
Six is a number perfect in itself, and not because God created the world in six days rather the contrary is true. God created the world in six days because this number is perfect, and it would remain perfect, even if the work of the six days did not exist.
Saint Augustine
You can live, provided you live that is, you can live for ever, provided you live a good life.
Saint Augustine
The measure of charity may be taken from the want of desires. As desires diminish in the soul, charity increases in it and when it no longer feels any desire, then it possesses perfect charity.
Saint Augustine
Your wisdom should be without pride.
Saint Augustine
The heart of man is restless until he finds rest in Thee.
Saint Augustine
Our life is a gymnasium of desire.... When Christians say God, what do we wish to express? This word is all that we yearn for.
Saint Augustine
Complete abstinence is easier than perfect moderation.
Saint Augustine
You don't love in your enemies what they are, but what you would have them become by your prayers.
Saint Augustine
The cost of obedience is small compared with the cost of disobedience.
Saint Augustine
