More quotes by Saint Augustine
Love is ever new because it never groweth old.
Saint Augustine
Love all men, even your enemies love them, not because they are your brothers, but that they may become your brothers. Thus you will ever burn with fraternal love, both for him who is already your brother and for your enemy, that he may by loving become your brother.
Saint Augustine
Love, and do what you will. If you are silent, be silent for love or if you cry out, cry out for love. If you chastise, chastise for love if you spare, spare for love.
Saint Augustine
Temporal punishments are suffered by some in this life only, by some after death, by some both here and hereafter, but all of them before that last and strictest judgment. But not all who suffer temporal punishments after death will come to eternal punishments, which are to follow after that judgment.
Saint Augustine
If God seems slow in responding, it is because He is preparing a better gift. He will not deny us. God withholds what you are not yet ready for. He wants you to have a lively desire for His greatest gifts. All of which is to say, pray always and do not lose heart.
Saint Augustine
The Gods occupy the loftiest regions, men the lowest, the demons the middle region...They have immortality of body, but passions of the mind in common with men.
Saint Augustine
What you are must always displease you, if you would attain to that which you are not.
Saint Augustine
Lord Jesus, don't let me lie when I say that I love you.....and protect me, for today I could betray you.
Saint Augustine
Christ was born of a woman without the man.
Saint Augustine
Why then be perverted and follow thy flesh? Be it converted and follow thee.
Saint Augustine
Doubt is but another element of faith.
Saint Augustine
The one who is good, is free even being a slave the one who is bad remains a slave even being a king.
Saint Augustine
The flesh does not by its own virtue purify, but is purified by virtue of the Word by which it was assumed, when 'the Word became flesh and dwelt among us' (Jn. 1:14).
Saint Augustine
The weakness of little children's limbs is innocent, not their souls.
Saint Augustine
Our bodies are shaped to bear children, and our lives are a working out of the processes of creation. All our ambitions and intelligence are beside that great elemental point.
Saint Augustine
AugustineThe wounds of a friend are better than the kisses of an enemy. To love with sternness is better than to deceive with gentleness.... In Luke [14:23] it is written: Compel people to come in! By threats of the wrath of God, the Father draws souls to his Son.
Saint Augustine
Wonderful is the depth of thy words, whose surface is before us, gently leading on the little ones: and yet a wonderful deepness, O my God, a wonderful deepness. It is awe to look into it even an awfulness of honour, and a trembling of love.
Saint Augustine
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
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
There is something in humility which, strangely enough, exalts the heart, and something in pride which debases it.
Saint Augustine
