Because a thing is eloquently expressed it should not be taken to be as necessarily true nor because it is uttered with stammering lips should it be supposed false.
Saint Augustine
Image
The honors of this world, what are they but puff, and emptiness, and peril of falling?
Saint Augustine
Image
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
Image
Temperance is a disposition that restrains our desires for things which it is base to desire.
Saint Augustine
Image
Drunkenness is a flattering devil, a sweet poison, a pleasant sin, which whosoever hath, hath not himself, which whosoever doth commit, doth not commit sin, but he himself is wholly sin.
Saint Augustine
Image
The mind commands the body and is instantly obeyed. The mind commands itself and meets resistance. The mind commands the hand to move, and it so easy that one hardly distinguishes the order from its execution. Yet mind is mind and hand is body. The mind orders the mind to will. The recipient of the order is itself, yet it does not perform it.
Saint Augustine
Image
Remember this. When people choose to withdraw far from a fire, the fire continues to give warmth, but they grow cold. When people choose to withdraw far from light, the light continues to be bright in itself but they are in darkness. This is also the case when people withdraw from God.
Saint Augustine
Image
True happiness is to rejoice in the truth, for to rejoice in the truth is to rejoice in You, O God, who are the truth... Those who think that there is another kind of happiness look for joy elsewhere, but theirs is not true joy.
Saint Augustine
Image
Punishment is justice for the unjust.
Saint Augustine
Image
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
Image
The Bible was composed in such a way that as beginners mature, its meaning grows with them.
Saint Augustine
Image
Our bodies are shaped to bear children, and our lives are a working out of the processes of creation. All our ambitions and intelligence are beside that great elemental point.
Saint Augustine
Image
The argument is at an end.
Saint Augustine
Image
Just think of the illimitable abundance and the marvelous loveliness of light, or of the beauty of the sun and moon and stars.
Saint Augustine
Image
We take for granted the slow miracle whereby water in the irrigation of a vineyard becomes wine. It is only when Christ turns water into wine, in a quick motion, as it were, that we stand amazed.
Saint Augustine
Image
For so it is, O Lord my God, I measure it! But what it is I measure, I do not know.
Saint Augustine
Image
Love has reasons that reason knows not.
Saint Augustine
Image
If you are suffering from a bad man's injustice, forgive him lest there be two bad men.
Saint Augustine

Love God, then do what you will.

Free curiosity is of more value in learning than harsh discipline.
