More quotes by 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
Why persist in walking difficult and toilsome paths? There is no repose where you are seeking it. Search as you like, it is not where you are looking. You are seeking a happy life in the realm of death, and it will not be found there. How could life be happy where there is no life at all?
Saint Augustine
We speak, but it is God who teaches.
Saint Augustine
The punishment of every disordered mind is its own disorder.
Saint Augustine
And I entered and beheld with the eye of my soul... the Light Unchangeable... He that knows the Truth, knows what that Light is and he that knows It, knows Eternity.
Saint Augustine
He was created of a mother whom He created. He was carried by hands that He formed. He cried in the manger in wordless infancy. He, the Word, without whom all human eloquence is mute.
Saint Augustine
Even in waging war, cherish the spirit of peace-maker that, by conquering those whom you attack, you may lead them back to the advantages of peace.
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
Who would not shudder if he were given the choice of eternal death or life again as a child ? Who would not choose to die ?
Saint Augustine
I was in misery, and misery is the state of every soul overcome by friendship with mortal things and lacerated when they are lost. Then the soul becomes aware of the misery which is its actual condition even before it loses them.
Saint Augustine
How high a price we pay for the burden of habit! I am fitted for life here where I do not want to be, I want to live there but am unfit for it, and on both counts I am miserable.
Saint Augustine
Since love grows within you, so beauty grows. For love is the beauty of the soul.
Saint Augustine
Dilige et quod vis fac. (Love and then what you will, do.)
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
You never go away from us, yet we have difficulty in returning to You. Come, Lord, stir us up and call us back. Kindle and seize us. Be our fire and our sweetness. Let us love. Let us run.
Saint Augustine
Every morning you put on your clothes to cover your nakedness and protect your body from inclement weather. Why don't you also clothe your soul with the garment of faith? Remember each morning the truths of your creed, and look at yourself in the mirror of your faith. Otherwise, your soul will soon be naked with the nakedness of oblivion.
Saint Augustine
When I come to be united to thee with all my being, then there will be no more pain and toil for me, and my life shall be a real life, being wholly filled by thee.
Saint Augustine
No eulogy is due to him who simply does his duty and nothing more.
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
In order to discover the character of people we have only to observe what they love.
Saint Augustine
