Image
...If humility does not precede all that we do, our efforts are fruitless.
Saint Augustine
Image
If you are silent, be silent out of love. If you speak, speak out of love.
Saint Augustine
Image
Wonderful is the depth of thy words, whose surface is before us, gently leading on the little ones: and yet a wonderful deepness, O my God, a wonderful deepness. It is awe to look into it even an awfulness of honour, and a trembling of love.
Saint Augustine
Image
The same divine authority that forbids the killing of a human being establishes certain exceptions, as when God authorizes killing by a general law or when He gives an explicit commission to an individual for a limited time.
Saint Augustine
Image
Forgiveness is the remission of sins. For it is by this that what has been lost, and was found, is saved from being lost again.
Saint Augustine
Image
Longing desire prayeth always, though the tongue be silent. If thou art ever longing, thou art ever praying.
Saint Augustine
Image
Unhappy is the soul enslaved by the love of anything that is mortal.
Saint Augustine
Image
The truth is like a lion you don’t have to defend it. Let it loose it will defend itself.
Saint Augustine
Image
Seek not abroad, for in the inner man dwells the truth.
Saint Augustine
Image
For if it is not lawful to take the law into our own hands and slay even a guilty person, whose death no public sentence has warranted. Then certainly he who kills himself is a homicide, and so much the guiltier of his own death as he was more innocent of that offence for which he doomed himself to die.
Saint Augustine
Image
The people who remained victorious were less like conquerors than conquered.
Saint Augustine
Image
If But for the Mercy of my Lord, that my paradise becomes a woman's hell.
Saint Augustine
Image
Love and say it with your life.
Saint Augustine
Image
Love, and do what you will. If you are silent, be silent for love or if you cry out, cry out for love. If you chastise, chastise for love if you spare, spare for love.
Saint Augustine
Image
Do what you can and pray for what you cannot yet do.
Saint Augustine
Image
I fell away from you, my God, and I went astray, too far astray from you, the support of my youth, and I became to myself a land of want.
Saint Augustine
Image
By the fall a poison was handed to mankind through a woman [Eve], by the Redemption man was given salvation also through a woman [Mary].
Saint Augustine
Image
Da mihi castitatem et continentiam, sed noli modo (Give me chastity and continence, but not just yet)!
Saint Augustine
Image
Let us leave a little room for reflection in our lives, room too for silence. Let us look within ourselves and see whether there is some delightful hidden place inside where we can be free of noise and argument. Let us hear the Word of God in stillness and perhaps we will then come to understand it.
Saint Augustine
Image
The entire life of a good Christian is in fact an exercise of holy desire. You do not yet see what you long for, but the very act of desiring prepares you, so that when he comes you may see and be utterly satisfied.
Saint Augustine
