Saint Augustine

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
Love is ever new because it never groweth old.
Saint Augustine

Saint Augustine

If it did not, it would have no means of passing. And since your years never come to an end, for you they are simply today.
Saint Augustine
Let us, on both sides, lay aside all arrogance. Let us not, on either side, claim that we have already discovered the truth. Let us seek it together as something which is known to neither of us.

Saint Augustine
Thou must be emptied of that wherewith thou art full, that thou mayest be filled with that whereof thou art empty.
Saint Augustine
The weakness of little children's limbs is innocent, not their souls.
Saint Augustine
The Devil invented gambling.
Saint Augustine
Therefore once for all this short command is given to you. 'Love and do what you will.' If you keep silent, keep silent by love if you speak, speak by love if you correct, correct by love if you pardon, pardon by love: let love be rooted in you, and from the root nothing but good can grow.
Saint Augustine
