More quotes by Saint Augustine
You are what you love.
Saint Augustine

Saint Augustine
Do what you can and pray for what you cannot yet do.
Saint Augustine

Saint Augustine

Remember each morning the truths of your creed, and look at yourself in the mirror of your faith. Otherwise, your soul will soon be naked with the nakedness of oblivion.
Saint Augustine

Saint Augustine
My weight is my love.
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
We are too weak to discover the truth by reason alone
Saint Augustine
Punishment is justice for the unjust.
Saint Augustine
The people who remained victorious were less like conquerors than conquered.
Saint Augustine
If you understand, it is not God.
Saint Augustine
Venerate the martyrs, praise, love, proclaim, honor them. But worship the God of the martyrs.
Saint Augustine
