More quotes by Saint Augustine
No one can begin a new life, unless he repent of the old.
Saint Augustine
It is He who gave to this intellectual nature free-will of such a kind, that if he wishes to forsake God his blessedness, misery should forthwith result.
Saint Augustine
The good Christian should beware the mathematician and all those who make empty prophecies. The danger already exists that the mathematicians have made a covenant with the devil to darken the spirit and to confine man in the bonds of hell.
Saint Augustine
The greatest evil is physical pain.
Saint Augustine
The Lord says, 'Whoever has, to him shall be given' (Mt. 13:12). He will give, then, to those who have that is to say, if they use freely and cheerfully what they have received, He will add to and perfect His gifts.
Saint Augustine
We must understand then, that even though God doesn't always give us what we want, He always gives us what we need for our salvation.
Saint Augustine
Don't let your life give evidence against your tongue. Sing with your voices... sing also with your conduct.
Saint Augustine
Sin is looking for the right thing in the wrong place.
Saint Augustine
I fell away from you, my God, and I went astray, too far astray from you, the support of my youth, and I became to myself a land of want.
Saint Augustine
The Holy Scriptures are our letters from home.
Saint Augustine
Fill yourselves first and then only will you be able to give to others.
Saint Augustine
The honors of this world, what are they but puff, and emptiness, and peril of falling?
Saint Augustine
The love of our neighbor hath its bounds in each man's love of himself.
Saint Augustine
You are what you love.
Saint Augustine
You never go away from us, yet we have difficulty in returning to You. Come, Lord, stir us up and call us back. Kindle and seize us. Be our fire and our sweetness. Let us love. Let us run.
Saint Augustine
Punishment is justice for the unjust.
Saint Augustine
There is another form of temptation, even more fraught with danger. This is the disease of curiosity. It is this which drives us to try and discover the secrets of nature, those secrets which are beyond our understanding, which can avail us nothing and which man should not wish to learn.
Saint Augustine
God's faithful servant has no desire for people to say or to give to him, or what he likes to hear or see, for his first and greatest aim is to hear what is most pleasing to God.
Saint Augustine
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
He pleaseth God whom God pleaseth.
Saint Augustine
