More quotes by Saint Augustine
A very weighty argument is this namely, that neither does the light which descends from thence, chiefly upon the world , mix itself with anything, nor admit of dirtiness or pollution, but remains entirely, and in all things that are, free from defilement, admixture, and suffering.
Saint Augustine
Better to have fewer wants than greater riches to supply increasing wants.
Saint Augustine
Your persistent longing is your persistent voice. But when love grows cold, the heart grows silent. Burning love is the outcry of the heart! If you are filled with longing all the time, you will keep crying out, and if your love perseveres, your cry will be heard without fail.
Saint Augustine
Pray as though everything depended on God. Work as though everything depended on you.
Saint Augustine
Lord, teach me to know you, and to know myself.
Saint Augustine
Nothing so casts down the manly mind from it's height as the fondling of women and those bodily contacts which belong to the married state.
Saint Augustine
For so it is, O Lord my God, I measure it! But what it is I measure, I do not know.
Saint Augustine
The good man, though a slave, is free the wicked, though he reigns, is a slave.
Saint Augustine
Drunkenness is a flattering devil, a sweet poison, a pleasant sin, which whosoever hath, hath not himself, which whosoever doth commit, doth not commit sin, but he himself is wholly sin.
Saint Augustine
If we tread our vices under our feet, we make of them a ladder by which to rise to higher things.
Saint Augustine
For, were it not good that evil things should also exist, the omnipotent God would almost certainly not allow evil to be, since beyond doubt it is just as easy for Him not to allow what He does not will, as for Him to do what He will.
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
Two criminals were crucified with Christ. One was saved do not despair. One was not do not presume.
Saint Augustine
It is the function of perfection to make one know one's imperfection.
Saint Augustine
Recognize in this bread what hung on the cross, and in this chalice what flowed from His side... whatever was in many and varied ways announced beforehand in the sacrifices of the Old Testament pertains to this one sacrifice which is revealed in the New Testament.
Saint Augustine
Education is the food of youth, the delight of old age, the ornament of prosperity, the refuge and comfort of adversity, and the provocation to grace in the soul.
Saint Augustine
The people who remained victorious were less like conquerors than conquered.
Saint Augustine
I do not comprehend all that I am. Is the mind, therefore, too limited to possess itself?
Saint Augustine
Better that I find you, God, and leave the questions unanswered, than to find the answers without finding you.
Saint Augustine
Slavery is not penal in character and planned by that law which commands the preservation of the natural order and forbids disturbance.
Saint Augustine
