Seek not to understand that you may believe, but believe that you may understand.
Saint Augustine
Image
The measure of love is to love without measuring.
Saint Augustine
Image
The flesh does not by its own virtue purify, but is purified by virtue of the Word by which it was assumed, when 'the Word became flesh and dwelt among us' (Jn. 1:14).
Saint Augustine
Image
God grants us not always what we ask so as to bestow something preferable.
Saint Augustine
Image
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.

You are surprised that the world is losing its grip? That the world is grown old? Don't hold onto the old man, the world don't refuse to regain your youth in Christ, who says to you: 'The world is passing away the world is losing its grip the world is short of breath. Don't fear, your youth shall be renewed as an eagle.'
Saint Augustine

Even in waging war, cherish the spirit of peace-maker that, by conquering those whom you attack, you may lead them back to the advantages of peace.
Saint Augustine
Image
Love all men, even your enemies love them, not because they are your brothers, but that they may become your brothers. Thus you will ever burn with fraternal love, both for him who is already your brother and for your enemy, that he may by loving become your brother.
Saint Augustine
Image
You have enemies. For who can live on this earth without them? Take heed to yourselves: love them. In no way can your enemy so hurt you by his violence, as you hurt yourself if you love him not.
Saint Augustine
Image
They, then, who are destined to die, need not be careful to inquire what death they are to die, but into what place death will usher them.
Saint Augustine
Image
Every morning you put on your clothes to cover your nakedness and protect your body from inclement weather. Why don't you also clothe your soul with the garment of faith? Remember each morning the truths of your creed, and look at yourself in the mirror of your faith. Otherwise, your soul will soon be naked with the nakedness of oblivion.
Saint Augustine
Image
Your wisdom should be without pride.
Saint Augustine
Image
Complete abstinence is easier than perfect moderation.
Saint Augustine
Image
For you [God] are infinite and never change. In you today never comes to an end: and yet our today does come to an end in you, because time, as well as everything else, exists in you. If it did not, it would have no means of passing. And since your years never come to an end, for you they are simply today.
Saint Augustine
Image
If a parricide is more wicked than anyone who commits homicide-because he kills not merely a man but a near relative-without doubt worse still is he who kills himself, because there is none nearer to a man than himself.
Saint Augustine
Image
War should we waged without love of violence, cruelty, or enmity.
Saint Augustine
Image
Let us, on both sides, lay aside all arrogance. Let us not, on either side, claim that we have already discovered the truth. Let us seek it together as something which is known to neither of us. For then only may we seek it, lovingly and tranquilly, if there be no bold presumption that it is already discovered and possessed.
Saint Augustine
Image
How high a price we pay for the burden of habit! I am fitted for life here where I do not want to be, I want to live there but am unfit for it, and on both counts I am miserable.
Saint Augustine
