More quotes by Saint Augustine
What do I love when I love my God?
Saint Augustine
No eulogy is due to him who simply does his duty and nothing more.
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
This world's a bubble.
Saint Augustine
The wicked exist in this world either to be converted or that through them the good may exercise patience.
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.
Saint Augustine
Beauty is the brilliance of truth.
Saint Augustine
Love, and do what you will. If you keep silence, do it out of love. If you cry out, do it out of love. If you refrain from punishing, do it out of love.
Saint Augustine
The love of our neighbor hath its bounds in each man's love of himself.
Saint Augustine
That your enemies have been created is God's doing that they hate you and wish to ruin you is their own doing. What should you say about them in your mind? Lord be merciful to them, forgive them their sins, put the fear of God in them, change them! You are loving in them not what they are, but what you would have them to become.
Saint Augustine
Complete abstinence is easier than perfect moderation.
Saint Augustine
If God is, why is there evil? But if God is not, why is there good?
Saint Augustine
Therefore once for all this short command is given to you. 'Love and do what you will.' If you keep silent, keep silent by love if you speak, speak by love if you correct, correct by love if you pardon, pardon by love: let love be rooted in you, and from the root nothing but good can grow.
Saint Augustine
If you understood him, it would not be God.
Saint Augustine
Just as it is agreed that we all wish to be happy, so it is that we all wish to be wise, since no one without wisdom is happy.
Saint Augustine
It was in His flesh that Christ walked among us and it is His flesh that He has given us to eat for our salvation but no one eats of this flesh without having first adored it . . . and not only do we not sin in thus adoring it, but we would be sinning if we did not do so.
Saint Augustine
Humility is the foundation of all the other virtues hence, in the soul in which this virtue does not exist there cannot be any other virtue except in mere appearance.
Saint Augustine
So give to the poor I'm begging you, I'm warning you, I'm commanding you, I'm ordering you.
Saint Augustine
I learned most, not from those who taught me but from those who talked with me.
Saint Augustine
Within the Church, sins are forgiven in three ways: by baptism, by prayer, and by the greater humility of penance yet God does not forgive sins except to the baptized.
Saint Augustine
