If But for the Mercy of my Lord, that my paradise becomes a woman's hell.
Saint Augustine
Image
If two friends ask you to judge a dispute, don't accept, because you will lose one friend on the other hand, if two strangers come with the same request, accept because you will gain one friend.
Saint Augustine
Image
The Gods occupy the loftiest regions, men the lowest, the demons the middle region...They have immortality of body, but passions of the mind in common with men.
Saint Augustine
Image
Anger is a weed hate is a tree
Saint Augustine
Image
Nothing so casts down the manly mind from it's height as the fondling of women and those bodily contacts which belong to the married state.
Saint Augustine
Image
If bodies please thee, praise God on occasion of them, and turn back thy love upon their Maker lest in these things which please thee, thou displease. If souls please thee, be they loved in God: for they too are mutable, but in Him they are firmly established.
Saint Augustine
Image
Choose to love whomsoever thou wilt: all else will follow.
Saint Augustine

Every good and true Christian should understand that wherever he may find the truth it is his Lord's.
Saint Augustine
Image
In my deepest wound I saw your glory, and it dazzled me.
Saint Augustine
Image
The desire is thy prayers and if thy desire is without ceasing, thy prayer will also be without ceasing. The continuance of your longing is the continuance of your prayer.
Saint Augustine
Image
Where love is, what can be wanting? Where it is not, what can possibly be profitable?
Saint Augustine
Image
God is always trying to give good things to us, but our hands are too full to receive them.
Saint Augustine
Image
God is more truly imagined than expressed, and He exists more truly than He is imagined.
Saint Augustine
Image
We can know what God is not, but we cannot know what He is.
Saint Augustine
Image
Do you wish to be great? Then begin by being little. Do you desire to construct a vast and lofty fabric? Think first about the foundations of humility. The higher your structure is to be, the deeper must be its foundation. Modest humility is beauty's crown.
Saint Augustine
Image
The flesh does not by its own virtue purify, but is purified by virtue of the Word by which it was assumed, when 'the Word became flesh and dwelt among us' (Jn. 1:14).
Saint Augustine
Image
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
Image
Love has reasons that reason knows not.
