More quotes by Saint Augustine
Temperance is a disposition that restrains our desires for things which it is base to desire.
Saint Augustine
What you see is the bread and the chalice that is what your own eyes report to you. But what your faith obliges you to accept is that the bread is the body of Christ and the chalice is the blood of Christ. This has been said very briefly, which may perhaps be sufficient for faith yet faith does not desire instruction
Saint Augustine
Except he be willing, man cannot believe.
Saint Augustine
This entire most beautiful order of good things is going to pass away after its measure has been exhausted for both morning and evening were made in them.
Saint Augustine
Remember this. When people choose to withdraw far from a fire, the fire continues to give warmth, but they grow cold. When people choose to withdraw far from light, the light continues to be bright in itself but they are in darkness. This is also the case when people withdraw from God.
Saint Augustine
God is not greater if you reverence Him, but you are greater if you serve Him.
Saint Augustine
If they find a Christian mistaken in a field which they themselves know well and hear him maintaining his foolish opinions about our books, how are they going to believe those books in matters concerning the resurrection of the dead, the hope of eternal life, and the kingdom of heaven.
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
Great are those two gifts, wisdom and continence: wisdom, forsooth, whereby we are formed in the knowledge of God continence whereby we are not conformed to this world.
Saint Augustine
Don't go outside get back to yourself, in the inner man lies the Truth.
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
There is another form of temptation, even more fraught with danger. This is the disease of curiosity. It is this which drives us to try and discover the secrets of nature, those secrets which are beyond our understanding, which can avail us nothing and which man should not wish to learn.
Saint Augustine
Will is to grace as the horse is to the rider.
Saint Augustine
The punishment of every disordered mind is its own disorder.
Saint Augustine
To my God a heart of flame To my fellow man a heart of love To myself a heart of steel.
Saint Augustine
Complete abstinence is easier than perfect moderation.
Saint Augustine
For a sentence is not complete unless each word, once its syllables have been pronounced, gives way to make room for the next...They are set up on the course of their existence, and the faster they climb towards its zenith, the more they hasten towards the point where they exist no more.
Saint Augustine
The love of our neighbor hath its bounds in each man's love of himself.
Saint Augustine
Go forth on your path, as it exists only through your walking.
Saint Augustine
The diversity of language alienates man from man
Saint Augustine
