Your wisdom should be without pride.
Saint Augustine

If you believe what you like in the gospels, and reject what you don't like, it is not the gospel you believe, but yourself.
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
Image
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.

The measure of charity may be taken from the want of desires. As desires diminish in the soul, charity increases in it and when it no longer feels any desire, then it possesses perfect charity.
Saint Augustine
Image
The world is a great book, of which they that never stir from home read only a page.
Saint Augustine
Image
One never errs more safely than when one errs by too much loving the truth.
Saint Augustine
Image
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
Image
The people who remained victorious were less like conquerors than conquered.
Saint Augustine
Image
People travel to wonder at the height of mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long courses of rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motion of the stars and they pass by themselves without wondering.
Saint Augustine
