More quotes by Saint Augustine
Though there are very many nations all over the earth, ...there are no more than two kinds of human society, which we may justly call two cities, ...one consisting of those who live according to man, the other of those who live according to God ....To the City of Man belong the enemies of God, ...so inflamed with hatred against the City of God.
Saint Augustine

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
Thou hast created us for Thyself, and our heart is not quiet until it rests in Thee.
Saint Augustine
That there should be some fire even after this life is not incredible, and it can be inquired into and either be discovered or left hidden whether some of the faithful may be saved, some more slowly and some more quickly in the greater or lesser degree in which they loved the good things that perish, through a certain purgatorial fire.
Saint Augustine
Poetry is devil's wine.
Saint Augustine
The spiritual virtue of a sacrament is like light although it passes among the impure, it is not polluted.
Saint Augustine
Fasting cleanses the soul, raises the mind, subjects one’s flesh to the spirit, renders the heart contrite and humble, scatters the clouds of concupiscence, quenches the fire of lust, and kindles the true light of chastity.
Saint Augustine
He who is filled with love is filled with God himself.
Saint Augustine
Beware of bad Catholics.
Saint Augustine
To fall in love with God is the greatest romance to seek him the greatest adventure to find him, the greatest human achievement.
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
God had one son on earth without sin, but never one without suffering.
Saint Augustine
