Saint Augustine
Image
Choose to love whomsoever thou wilt: all else will follow.
Saint Augustine
Image
If But for the Mercy of my Lord, that my paradise becomes a woman's hell.
Saint Augustine

Saint Augustine
Image
Do you wish to be great? Then begin by being. 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.
Saint Augustine
Image
The mind commands the body and is instantly obeyed. The mind commands itself and meets resistance. The mind commands the hand to move, and it so easy that one hardly distinguishes the order from its execution. Yet mind is mind and hand is body. The mind orders the mind to will. The recipient of the order is itself, yet it does not perform it.
Saint Augustine

Saint Augustine
Image
God does not expect us to submit our faith to him without reason, but the very limits of our reason make faith a necessity.
Saint Augustine
Image
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
Image
Better that I find you, God, and leave the questions unanswered, than to find the answers without finding you.
Saint Augustine
Image
Why then be perverted and follow thy flesh? Be it converted and follow thee.
Saint Augustine
Image
There is something in humility which, strangely enough, exalts the heart, and something in pride which debases it.
Saint Augustine
Image
To my God a heart of flame To my fellow man a heart of love To myself a heart of steel.
Saint Augustine
Image
You are my Lord, because You have no need of my goodness.
Saint Augustine
Image
Nothing is so much to be shunned as sex relations.
Saint Augustine
Image
Nothing, therefore, happens unless the Omnipotent wills it to happen. He either permits it to happen, or He brings it about Himself.
Saint Augustine
Image
God will cleanse your sins if you yourself are dissatisfied with yourself and will keep on changing until you are perfect.
Saint Augustine
Image
Should you ask me what is the first thing in religion, I should reply that the first, second, and third thing therein is humility.
Saint Augustine
