More quotes by Saint Augustine
Nothing so casts down the manly mind from it's height as the fondling of women and those bodily contacts which belong to the married state.
Saint Augustine
While the best men are guided by love, most mean are still goaded by fear.
Saint Augustine
Nothing, therefore, happens unless the Omnipotent wills it to happen. He either permits it to happen, or He brings it about Himself.
Saint Augustine
He that is jealous is not in love.
Saint Augustine
AugustineThe wounds of a friend are better than the kisses of an enemy. To love with sternness is better than to deceive with gentleness.... In Luke [14:23] it is written: Compel people to come in! By threats of the wrath of God, the Father draws souls to his Son.
Saint Augustine
Truth is not private property.
Saint Augustine
What can be hoped for which is not believed?
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
Do not be afraid to throw yourself on the Lord! He will not draw back and let you fall! Put your worries aside and throw yourself on him He will welcome you and heal you.
Saint Augustine
I held my heart back from positively accepting anything, since I was afraid of another fall, and in this condition of suspense I was being all the more killed.
Saint Augustine
Did my infancy succeed another age of mine that dies before it? Was it that which I spent within my mother's womb?... And what before that life again, O God of my joy, was I anywhere or in any body?
Saint Augustine
God's faithful servant has no desire for people to say or to give to him, or what he likes to hear or see, for his first and greatest aim is to hear what is most pleasing to God.
Saint Augustine
Longing desire prayeth always, though the tongue be silent. If thou art ever longing, thou art ever praying.
Saint Augustine
Our heart is restless until it rests in You.
Saint Augustine
The reward of patience Is patience.
Saint Augustine
Since God is the highest good, he would not allow any evil to exist in his works unless his omnipotence and goodness were such as to bring good even out of evil.
Saint Augustine
If you excuse yourself in confession, you shut up sin within your soul, and shut out pardon.
Saint Augustine
Two criminals were crucified with Christ. One was saved do not despair. One was not do not presume.
Saint Augustine
Hope has two beautiful daughters their names are Anger and Courage. Anger at the way things are, and Courage to see that they do not remain as they are.
Saint Augustine
The good man, though a slave, is free the wicked, though he reigns, is a slave.
Saint Augustine
