More quotes by Saint Augustine
Since love grows within you, so beauty grows. For love is the beauty of the soul.
Saint Augustine
Whoever possesses God is happy.
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
Not to give to those in need what is to you superfluous is akin to fraud.
Saint Augustine
Beauty is the brilliance of truth.
Saint Augustine
There is no health in those who are displeased by an element in Your creation, just as there was none in me when I was displeased by many things You had made. Because my soul didn't dare to say that my God displeased me, it refused to attribute to You whatever was displeasing.
Saint Augustine
Never judge a philosophy by its abuse.
Saint Augustine

Suppress prostitution, and capricious lusts will overthrow society.
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
Punishment, that is the justice for the unjust.
Saint Augustine
I make bold to say that it is profitable for the proud to fall, in order that they may be humbled in that for which they have exalted themselves.
Saint Augustine
Go forth on your path, as it exists only through your walking.
Saint Augustine
God is more truly imagined than expressed, and He exists more truly than He is imagined.
Saint Augustine
Without God, man cannot, and without man, God will not.
Saint Augustine
The cost of obedience is small compared with the cost of disobedience.
Saint Augustine
A temptation arises: it is the wind. It disturbs you: it is the surging of the seas. This is the time to awaken Christ and let Him remind you of these words
Saint Augustine
He who is filled with love is filled with God himself.
Saint Augustine
Although among heretics and schismatics there is the same Baptism, nevertheless, the remission of sins is not operative among them because of the very rottenness of discord and wickedness of dissension ... Baptism was in them, but it did not profit them outside the Church ... Outside the Church, Baptism works death because of discord.
Saint Augustine
Nothing is so much to be shunned as sex relations.
Saint Augustine
