More quotes by Saint Augustine
For where I found Truth, there found I my God, the Truth itself which since I learnt, I have not forgotten.
Saint Augustine
If you are silent, be silent out of love. If you speak, speak out of love.
Saint Augustine
The angels surround and help the priest when he is celebrating Mass.
Saint Augustine
Now the Apostle, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, says, Knowledge inflates: but love edifies. The only correct inerpretation of this saying is that knowledge is valuable when charity informs it. Without charity, knowledge inflates that is, it exalts man to an arrogance which is nothing but a kind of windy emptiness.
Saint Augustine
Every city is a living body.
Saint Augustine

Saint Augustine
What is time? If I am not asked, I know if I am asked, I don't.
Saint Augustine
Consequently, heretics and schismatics, separated from the unity of this Body, are able to receive the same Sacrament, but with no benefit to themselves indeed, more to their own harm, in that they are judged the more severely rather than being liberated.
Saint Augustine
Men go forth to wonder at the height of mountains, the huge waves of the sea, the broad flow of the ocean, the course of the stars-and forget to wonder at themselves. Beware of despairing about yourself: you are commanded to put your trust in God, and not in yourself.
Saint Augustine
Just think of the illimitable abundance and the marvelous loveliness of light, or of the beauty of the sun and moon and stars.
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
I want my friend to miss me as long as I miss him.
Saint Augustine
They, then, who are destined to die, need not be careful to inquire what death they are to die, but into what place death will usher them.
Saint Augustine
The spiritual virtue of a sacrament is like light although it passes among the impure, it is not polluted.
Saint Augustine
Idolatry is worshipping anything that ought to be used, or using anything that is meant to be worshipped.
Saint Augustine
