Without God, we cannot. Without us, God will not.
Saint Augustine
Justice being taken away, then, what are kingdoms but great robberies? For what are robberies themselves, but little kingdoms.
Saint Augustine
What you are must always displease you, if you would attain to that which you are not.

Saint Augustine
Give me yourself, O my God, give yourself back to me. Lo, I love you, but if my love is too mean, let me love more passionately. I cannot gauge my love, nor know how far it fails, how much more love I need for my life to set its course straight into your arms, never swerving until hidden in the covert of your face.
Saint Augustine

Saint Augustine
Some people, in order to discover God, read books. But there is a great book: the very appearance of created things. Look above you! Look below you! Read it. God, whom you want to discover, never wrote that book with ink. Instead, He set before your eyes the things that He had made. Can you ask for a louder voice than that?
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
Love God, then do what you will.
Saint Augustine
There is no greater invitation to love than loving first.
Saint Augustine
No eulogy is due to him who simply does his duty and nothing more.
Saint Augustine
Who can map out the various forces at play in one soul? Man is a great depth, O Lord. The hairs of his head are easier by far to count than his feeling, the movements of his heart.
Saint Augustine
Love has reasons that reason knows not.
Saint Augustine
And I entered and beheld with the eye of my soul... the Light Unchangeable... He that knows the Truth, knows what that Light is and he that knows It, knows Eternity.
Saint Augustine
Suppress prostitution, and capricious lusts will overthrow society.
Saint Augustine
