Saint Augustine
Do you know who the upright of heart are? They are those who wish what God wishes. Therefore, do not try to twist God's will to you own but correct your will to that of God. The will of God is a rule of conduct. By it you have the means of being converted and of correcting your evil ways.

Saint Augustine
For what is the self-complacent man but a slave to his own self-praise.
Saint Augustine
