If I am given a formula, and I am ignorant of its meaning, it cannot teach me anything, but if I already know it what does the formula teach me?
Saint Augustine
The Lord says, 'Whoever has, to him shall be given' (Mt. 13:12). He will give, then, to those who have that is to say, if they use freely and cheerfully what they have received, He will add to and perfect His gifts.
Saint Augustine
He pleaseth God whom God pleaseth.
Saint Augustine
One generation and another generation the generation by which we are made the faithful, and are born again by baptism the generation by which we shall rise again from the dead, and shall live with the Angels for ever.
