More quotes by Saint Augustine
God had one son on earth without sin, but never one without suffering.
Saint Augustine
God loves each of us as if there were only one of us.
Saint Augustine
Patience is the companion of wisdom.
Saint Augustine
Thou hast created us for Thyself, and our heart is not quiet until it rests in Thee.
Saint Augustine
He that is jealous is not in love.
Saint Augustine
The good Christian should beware the mathematician and all those who make empty prophecies. The danger already exists that the mathematicians have made a covenant with the devil to darken the spirit and to confine man in the bonds of hell.
Saint Augustine
If two friends ask you to judge a dispute, don't accept, because you will lose one friend on the other hand, if two strangers come with the same request, accept because you will gain one friend.
Saint Augustine
If by fate anyone means the will or power of God, let him keep his meaning but mend his language for fate commonly means a necessary process which will have its way apart from the will of God and men.
Saint Augustine
Recognize in this bread what hung on the cross, and in this chalice what flowed from His side... whatever was in many and varied ways announced beforehand in the sacrifices of the Old Testament pertains to this one sacrifice which is revealed in the New Testament.
Saint Augustine
Though there are very many nations all over the earth, ...there are no more than two kinds of human society, which we may justly call two cities, ...one consisting of those who live according to man, the other of those who live according to God ....To the City of Man belong the enemies of God, ...so inflamed with hatred against the City of God.
Saint Augustine
It is not earthly riches which make us or our sons happy for they must either be lost by us in our lifetime, or be possessed when we are dead, by whom we know not, or perhaps by whom we would not.
Saint Augustine
This is the very perfection of a man, to find out his own imperfections.
Saint Augustine
How can the past and future be, when the past no longer is, and the future is not yet? As for the present, if it were always present and never moved on to become the past, it would not be time, but eternity.
Saint Augustine
I have learnt to love you late, Beauty at once so ancient and so new!
Saint Augustine
Every good and true Christian should understand that wherever he may find the truth it is his Lord's.
Saint Augustine
Lord, teach me to know you, and to know myself.
Saint Augustine
Keep on adding, keep on walking, keep on progressing: do not delay on the road, do not go back, do not deviate.
Saint Augustine
Woman was merely man's helpmate, a function which pertains to her alone. She is not the image of God but as far as man is concerned, he is by himself the image of God.
Saint Augustine
Free curiosity has greater power to stimulate learning than rigorous coercion. Nevertheless, the free ranging flux of curiosity is channeled by discipline under Your Law.
Saint Augustine
Let us leave a little room for reflection in our lives, room too for silence. Let us look within ourselves and see whether there is some delightful hidden place inside where we can be free of noise and argument. Let us hear the Word of God in stillness and perhaps we will then come to understand it.
