More quotes by Saint Augustine
Go forth on your path, as it exists only through your walking.
Saint Augustine
Why then be perverted and follow thy flesh? Be it converted and follow thee.
Saint Augustine
Whatever skills I have acquired, whatever gifts I have been given, I place them at Your service.
Saint Augustine
God is always trying to give good things to us, but our hands are too full to receive them.
Saint Augustine
Because I do it with one small ship, I am called a terrorist. You do it with a whole fleet and are called an emperor.
Saint Augustine
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
He pleaseth God whom God pleaseth.
Saint Augustine
Justice being taken away, then, what are kingdoms but great robberies? For what are robberies themselves, but little kingdoms.
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
He was created of a mother whom He created. He was carried by hands that He formed. He cried in the manger in wordless infancy. He, the Word, without whom all human eloquence is mute.
Saint Augustine
It is better that the truth be known than that scandal be covered up.
Saint Augustine
The desire is thy prayers and if thy desire is without ceasing, thy prayer will also be without ceasing. The continuance of your longing is the continuance of your prayer.
Saint Augustine
That your enemies have been created is God's doing that they hate you and wish to ruin you is their own doing. What should you say about them in your mind? Lord be merciful to them, forgive them their sins, put the fear of God in them, change them! You are loving in them not what they are, but what you would have them to become.
Saint Augustine
Every city is a living body.
Saint Augustine
The one who sings, prays twice.
Saint Augustine
If you believe what you like in the gospels, and reject what you don't like, it is not the gospel you believe, but yourself.
Saint Augustine
There is no remedy so powerful against the heat of concupiscence as the remembrance of our Savior's Passion. In all my difficulties I never found anything so efficacious as the wounds of Christ: In them I sleep secure from them I derive new life.
Saint Augustine
Disturbers are to be rebuked, the low spirited to be encouraged, the infirm to be supported, objectors confuted, the treacherous guarded against, the unskilled taught, the lazy aroused, the contentious restrained, the haughty repressed, the poor relieved, the oppressed liberated, the good approved, the evil borne with, and all are to be loved!
Saint Augustine
He who denies the existence of God, has some reason for wishing that God did not exist.
Saint Augustine
A free curiosity is more effective in learning than a rigid discipline.
Saint Augustine
