More quotes by Saint Augustine
You (God) have not only commanded continence, that is, from what things we are to restrain our love, but also justice, that is, on what we are to bestow our love.
Saint Augustine
What you see is the bread and the chalice that is what your own eyes report to you. But what your faith obliges you to accept is that the bread is the body of Christ and the chalice is the blood of Christ. This has been said very briefly, which may perhaps be sufficient for faith yet faith does not desire instruction
Saint Augustine
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
Cantare amantis est ... Singing belongs to one who loves. (s. 336, 1 – PL 38, 1472).
Saint Augustine
Remember this. When people choose to withdraw far from a fire, the fire continues to give warmth, but they grow cold. When people choose to withdraw far from light, the light continues to be bright in itself but they are in darkness. This is also the case when people withdraw from God.
Saint Augustine
A free curiosity is more effective in learning than a rigid discipline.
Saint Augustine
Patience is the companion of wisdom.
Saint Augustine
Be always displeased at what thou art, if thou desirest to attain to what thou art not.
Saint Augustine
Without God, we cannot. Without us, God will not.
Saint Augustine
The wicked exist in this world either to be converted or that through them the good may exercise patience.
Saint Augustine
This world's a bubble.
Saint Augustine
To my God a heart of flame To my fellow man a heart of love To myself a heart of steel.
Saint Augustine
Give what You command and command what You will.
Saint Augustine
The angels surround and help the priest when he is celebrating Mass.
Saint Augustine
Bad company is like a nail driven into a post, which, after the first and second blow, may be drawn out with little difficulty but being once driven up to the head, the pincers cannot take hold to draw it out, but which can only be done by the destruction of the wood.
Saint Augustine
If you excuse yourself in confession, you shut up sin within your soul, and shut out pardon.
Saint Augustine
Do you wish to be great? Then begin by being little. Do you desire to construct a vast and lofty fabric? Think first about the foundations of humility. The higher your structure is to be, the deeper must be its foundation. Modest humility is beauty's crown.
Saint Augustine
Since love grows within you, so beauty grows. For love is the beauty of the soul.
Saint Augustine
Suppress prostitution, and capricious lusts will overthrow society.
Saint Augustine
He who made thee is made in thee. He is made in thee through whom you were made.... Give milk, O mother, to him who is our food give milk to the bread that comes down from heaven.
Saint Augustine
