In my deepest wound I saw your glory, and it dazzled me.
Saint Augustine
Image
Someone who knows enough to become the owner of a tree, and gives thanks to you for the benefits it brings him, is in a better state, even if ignorant of its height in feet and the extent of its spread, than another who measures and counts all its branches but neither owns it nor knows its creator nor loves him.

Saint Augustine
Image
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

Saint Augustine
Image
Men go forth to wonder at the height of mountains, the huge waves of the sea, the broad flow of the ocean, the course of the stars-and forget to wonder at themselves. Beware of despairing about yourself: you are commanded to put your trust in God, and not in yourself.
Saint Augustine
Image
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
Image
Cantare amantis est ... Singing belongs to one who loves. (s. 336, 1 – PL 38, 1472).
Saint Augustine
Image
God does not expect us to submit our faith to him without reason, but the very limits of our reason make faith a necessity.
Saint Augustine
Image
Love God, then do what you will.
Saint Augustine
Image
Nothing so clearly distinguishes a spiritual man as his treatment of an erring brother.
Saint Augustine
Image
The good man, though a slave, is free the wicked, though he reigns, is a slave.
Saint Augustine
Image
The reward of patience Is patience.
Saint Augustine
Image
Two cities have been formed by two loves: the earthly by the love of self the heavenly by the love of God.
Saint Augustine

Modo, et modo, non habebent modum. By-and-by has no end.
