Quote

What difference, if you are mistaken? For if I am mistaken, I am. For he who is not, assuredly cannot be mistaken and therefore I am, if I am mistaken. Therefore because I am if I am mistaken, how am I mistaken that I am, when it is sure that I am, if I am mistaken.

Image
Who can control this when its appetite is aroused? No one! In the very movement of this appetite, then, it has no mode that responds to the decisions of the will ... Yet what he wishes he cannot accomplish ... In the very movement of the appetite, it has no mode corresponding to the decision of the will.
Saint Augustine

Bad times, hard times, this is what people keep saying but let us live well, and times shall be good. We are the times: Such as we are, such are the times.

It is the function of perfection to make one know one's imperfection.
Saint Augustine
Image
There is no health in those who are displeased by an element in Your creation, just as there was none in me when I was displeased by many things You had made. Because my soul didn't dare to say that my God displeased me, it refused to attribute to You whatever was displeasing.
Saint Augustine
Image
To wisdom belongs the intellectual apprehension of eternal things to knowledge, the rational knowledge of temporal things.

The love of our neighbor hath its bounds in each man's love of himself.
Saint Augustine
Image
Poetry is devil's wine.
Saint Augustine
Image
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. For then only may we seek it, lovingly and tranquilly, if there be no bold presumption that it is already discovered and possessed.
Saint Augustine
Image
If a parricide is more wicked than anyone who commits homicide-because he kills not merely a man but a near relative-without doubt worse still is he who kills himself, because there is none nearer to a man than himself.
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
Our heart is restless until it rests in You.
Saint Augustine
Image
Find out how much God has given you and from it take what you need the remainder is needed by others.
