More quotes by Saint Augustine
Keep on adding, keep on walking, keep on progressing: do not delay on the road, do not go back, do not deviate.
Saint Augustine
The peace of the celestial city is the perfectly ordered and harmonious enjoyment of God, and of one another in God. (City of God, Book 19)
Saint Augustine
All those who belong to Jesus Christ are fastened with Him to the cross.
Saint Augustine
Two works of mercy set a person free: Forgive and you will be forgiven, and give and you will receive.
Saint Augustine
The mind commands the body and is instantly obeyed. The mind commands itself and meets resistance. 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
Unjust laws aren't laws at all.
Saint Augustine
God is always trying to give good things to us, but our hands are too full to receive them.
Saint Augustine

Saint Augustine
I found thee not, O Lord, without, because I erred in seeking thee without that wert within.

Lord, teach me to know you, and to know myself.
Saint Augustine
True happiness is to rejoice in the truth, for to rejoice in the truth is to rejoice in You, O God, who are the truth... Those who think that there is another kind of happiness look for joy elsewhere, but theirs is not true joy.
Saint Augustine
We count on God's mercy for our past mistakes, on God's love for our present needs, on God's sovereignty for our future.
Saint Augustine
We must be on our guard against giving interpretations which are hazardous or opposed to science, and so exposing the word of God to the ridicule of unbelievers.
Saint Augustine
Without God, man cannot, and without man, God will not.
Saint Augustine
To my God a heart of flame To my fellow man a heart of love To myself a heart of steel.
Saint Augustine
Charity is no substitute for justice withheld.
Saint Augustine
Better that I find you, God, and leave the questions unanswered, than to find the answers without finding you.
Saint Augustine
I fell away from you, my God, and I went astray, too far astray from you, the support of my youth, and I became to myself a land of want.
Saint Augustine
The diversity of language alienates man from man
Saint Augustine
How high a price we pay for the burden of habit! I am fitted for life here where I do not want to be, I want to live there but am unfit for it, and on both counts I am miserable.
Saint Augustine
