More quotes by Saint Augustine
That there should be some fire even after this life is not incredible, and it can be inquired into and either be discovered or left hidden whether some of the faithful may be saved, some more slowly and some more quickly in the greater or lesser degree in which they loved the good things that perish, through a certain purgatorial fire.
Saint Augustine
If a shameless woman expects to be defiled and then dies of her fierce love because you do not consent, will chastity also be homicide?
Saint Augustine
For, as it is written in the book of the Prophets: 'And the angel that spoke in me, said to me...' He does not say, 'Spoke to me' but 'Spoke in me'.
Saint Augustine
It is not that we keep His commandments first and that then He loves but that He loves us and then we keep His commandments. This is that grace which is revealed to the humble but hidden from the proud.
Saint Augustine
Your wisdom should be without pride.
Saint Augustine
Though defensive violence will always be 'a sad necessity' in the eyes of men of principle, it would be still more unfortunate if wrongdoers should dominate just men.
Saint Augustine
It is no advantage to be near the light if the eyes are closed.
Saint Augustine
The argument is at an end.
Saint Augustine
Better to have fewer wants than greater riches to supply increasing wants.
Saint Augustine
The honors of this world, what are they but puff, and emptiness, and peril of falling?
Saint Augustine
For, were it not good that evil things should also exist, the omnipotent God would almost certainly not allow evil to be, since beyond doubt it is just as easy for Him not to allow what He does not will, as for Him to do what He will.
Saint Augustine
Eternity is the now that does not pass away.
Saint Augustine
I found thee not, O Lord, without, because I erred in seeking thee without that wert within.
Saint Augustine
There is something in humility which, strangely enough, exalts the heart, and something in pride which debases it.
Saint Augustine
It seems to me that an unjust law is no law at all.
Saint Augustine
Bad times, hard times, this is what people keep saying but let us live well, and times shall be good. We are the times: Such as we are, such are the times.
Saint Augustine
Let us leave a little room for reflection in our lives, room too for silence. Let us look within ourselves and see whether there is some delightful hidden place inside where we can be free of noise and argument. Let us hear the Word of God in stillness and perhaps we will then come to understand it.
Saint Augustine
What is grace? I know until you ask me when you ask me, I do not know.
Saint Augustine
You can live, provided you live that is, you can live for ever, provided you live a good life.
Saint Augustine
To wisdom belongs the intellectual apprehension of eternal things to knowledge, the rational knowledge of temporal things.
Saint Augustine
