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.

You are surprised that the world is losing its grip? That the world is grown old? Don't hold onto the old man, the world don't refuse to regain your youth in Christ, who says to you: 'The world is passing away the world is losing its grip the world is short of breath. Don't fear, your youth shall be renewed as an eagle.'

Saint Augustine

Let us leave a little room for reflection in our lives, room too for silence. Let us look within ourselves and see whether there is some delightful hidden place inside where we can be free of noise and argument. Let us hear the Word of God in stillness and perhaps we will then come to understand it.
Saint Augustine
Image
You are what you love.
Saint Augustine
Image
Since love grows within you, so beauty grows. For love is the beauty of the soul.
Saint Augustine

Love, and do what you will. If you are silent, be silent for love or if you cry out, cry out for love. If you chastise, chastise for love if you spare, spare for love.
Saint Augustine
Image
Who can map out the various forces at play in one soul? Man is a great depth, O Lord. The hairs of his head are easier by far to count than his feeling, the movements of his heart.
Saint Augustine
Image
Moreover, from the time when He said, 'Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of heaven' and again, 'He that loseth his life for my sake shall find it ' no one becomes a member of Christ except it be either by baptism in Christ, or death for Christ.
Saint Augustine
Image
It is not in virtue of its liberty that the human will attains to grace, it is much rather by grace that it attains to liberty.
Saint Augustine

Free curiosity is of more value in learning than harsh discipline.
