Saint Augustine
Beauty is the brilliance of truth.
Saint Augustine
If they find a Christian mistaken in a field which they themselves know well and hear him maintaining his foolish opinions about our books, how are they going to believe those books in matters concerning the resurrection of the dead, the hope of eternal life, and the kingdom of heaven.
Saint Augustine
God had one son on earth without sin, but never one without suffering.
Saint Augustine
