Now the Apostle, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, says, Knowledge inflates: but love edifies. The only correct inerpretation of this saying is that knowledge is valuable when charity informs it. Without charity, knowledge inflates that is, it exalts man to an arrogance which is nothing but a kind of windy emptiness.
Saint Augustine
I will not live an instant that I do not live in love. Whoever loves does all things without suffering, or, suffering, loves his suffering.
Saint Augustine

But not all who suffer temporal punishments after death will come to eternal punishments, which are to follow after that judgment.
Saint Augustine

Saint Augustine
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
Two criminals were crucified with Christ. One was saved do not despair. One was not do not presume.
Saint Augustine
Why persist in walking difficult and toilsome paths? There is no repose where you are seeking it. Search as you like, it is not where you are looking. You are seeking a happy life in the realm of death, and it will not be found there. How could life be happy where there is no life at all?
Saint Augustine
Carnal lust rules where there is no love of God.
Saint Augustine
