More quotes by 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
Understanding is the wages of faith.
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
Do you know who the upright of heart are? They are those who wish what God wishes. Therefore, do not try to twist God's will to you own but correct your will to that of God. The will of God is a rule of conduct. By it you have the means of being converted and of correcting your evil ways.
Saint Augustine
Try to acquire the virtues you believe lacking in your brothers. Then you will no longer see their defects, for you will no longer have them yourself.
Saint Augustine
We make ourselves a ladder out of our vices if we trample the vices themselves underfoot.
Saint Augustine
Six is a number perfect in itself, and not because God created the world in six days rather the contrary is true. God created the world in six days because this number is perfect, and it would remain perfect, even if the work of the six days did not exist.
Saint Augustine
Nothing so clearly distinguishes a spiritual man as his treatment of an erring brother.
Saint Augustine
Seek not abroad, for in the inner man dwells the truth.
Saint Augustine
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
Unhappy is the soul enslaved by the love of anything that is mortal.
Saint Augustine
The Law is not in fault, but our evil and wicked nature even as a heap of lime is still and quiet until water is poured on it, but then it begins to smoke and burn, not from the fault of the water, but from the nature of the lime, which will not endure it.
Saint Augustine
God had one son on earth without sin, but never one without suffering.
Saint Augustine
I was in misery, and misery is the state of every soul overcome by friendship with mortal things and lacerated when they are lost. Then the soul becomes aware of the misery which is its actual condition even before it loses them.
Saint Augustine
Justice being taken away, then, what are kingdoms but great robberies? For what are robberies themselves, but little kingdoms.
Saint Augustine
If you are silent, be silent out of love. If you speak, speak out of love.
Saint Augustine
Find out how much God has given you and from it take what you need the remainder is needed by others.
Saint Augustine
What is held by the whole Church, and that not as instituted by Councils, but as a matter of invariable custom, is rightly held to have been handed down by authority.
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
Beauty is the brilliance of truth.
Saint Augustine
