More quotes by Saint Augustine
The diversity of language alienates man from man
Saint Augustine
A temptation arises: it is the wind. It disturbs you: it is the surging of the seas. This is the time to awaken Christ and let Him remind you of these words
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
I learned most, not from those who taught me but from those who talked with me.
Saint Augustine
So while he made you without you, he doesn't justify you without you.
Saint Augustine
It seems to me that an unjust law is no law at all.
Saint Augustine
Keep on adding, keep on walking, keep on progressing: do not delay on the road, do not go back, do not deviate.
Saint Augustine
Pray as though everything depended on God. Work as though everything depended on you.
Saint Augustine
The peace of the celestial city is the perfectly ordered and harmonious enjoyment of God, and of one another in God. (City of God, Book 19)
Saint Augustine
If you understood him, it would not be God.
Saint Augustine
I did not find you outside, O Lord, because I made the mistake of seeking outside you who were within
Saint Augustine
We must understand then, that even though God doesn't always give us what we want, He always gives us what we need for our salvation.
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
We can know what God is not, but we cannot know what He is.
Saint Augustine
The entire life of a good Christian is in fact an exercise of holy desire. You do not yet see what you long for, but the very act of desiring prepares you, so that when he comes you may see and be utterly satisfied.
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
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
Our whole business in this Life is to restore to health the eye of the heart whereby God may be seen.
Saint Augustine
What difference, if you are mistaken? For if I am mistaken, I am. For he who is not, assuredly cannot be mistaken and therefore I am, if I am mistaken. Therefore because I am if I am mistaken, how am I mistaken that I am, when it is sure that I am, if I am mistaken.
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
