Saint Augustine
Moral character is assessed not by what a man knows but by what he loves
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
All those who belong to Jesus Christ are fastened with Him to the cross.

Beware of despairing about yourself: you are commanded to put your trust in God, and not in yourself.
Saint Augustine
Idolatry is worshipping anything that ought to be used, or using anything that is meant to be worshipped.
Saint Augustine

Saint Augustine
I want my friend to miss me as long as I miss him.
Saint Augustine
Wonderful is the depth of thy words, whose surface is before us, gently leading on the little ones: and yet a wonderful deepness, O my God, a wonderful deepness. It is awe to look into it even an awfulness of honour, and a trembling of love.
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
Since God is the highest good, he would not allow any evil to exist in his works unless his omnipotence and goodness were such as to bring good even out of evil.
Saint Augustine
Seek not to understand that you may believe, but believe that you may understand.
Saint Augustine
Though there are very many nations all over the earth, ...there are no more than two kinds of human society, which we may justly call two cities, ...one consisting of those who live according to man, the other of those who live according to God ....To the City of Man belong the enemies of God, ...so inflamed with hatred against the City of God.
Saint Augustine
I will not live an instant that I do not live in love. Whoever loves does all things without suffering, or, suffering, loves his suffering.
Saint Augustine
Although God is all powerful, He is unable to give more though supremely wise, He knows not how to give more though vastly rich, He has not more to give.
Saint Augustine
Your wisdom should be without pride.
Saint Augustine
For it is better to suffer a little want than to have too much.
Saint Augustine
