More quotes by 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
Not to give to those in need what is to you superfluous is akin to fraud.
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.
Saint Augustine
What do I love when I love my God?
Saint Augustine
Go forth on your path, as it exists only through your walking.
Saint Augustine
I did not find you outside, O Lord, because I made the mistake of seeking outside you who were within
Saint Augustine
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

Saint Augustine
For so it is, O Lord my God, I measure it! But what it is I measure, I do not know.
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

Saint Augustine
We speak, but it is God who teaches.
Saint Augustine
For it is better to suffer a little want than to have too much.
Saint Augustine
If I am given a formula, and I am ignorant of its meaning, it cannot teach me anything, but if I already know it what does the formula teach me?
Saint Augustine
Do you know who the upright of heart are? They are those who wish what God wishes. Therefore, do not try to twist God's will to you own but correct your will to that of God. The will of God is a rule of conduct. By it you have the means of being converted and of correcting your evil ways.
Saint Augustine
Nothing so clearly distinguishes a spiritual man as his treatment of an erring brother.
Saint Augustine
Moral character is assessed not by what a man knows but by what he loves
Saint Augustine
Give what You command and command what You will.
Saint Augustine
Lord, teach me to know you, and to know myself.
Saint Augustine
