More quotes by Saint Augustine
We speak, but it is God who teaches.
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
All diseases of Christians are to be ascribed to demons chiefly do they torment freshly-baptized Christians, yea, even the guiltless new-born infants.
Saint Augustine
Now the Apostle, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, says, Knowledge inflates: but love edifies. The only correct inerpretation of this saying is that knowledge is valuable when charity informs it. Without charity, knowledge inflates that is, it exalts man to an arrogance which is nothing but a kind of windy emptiness.
Saint Augustine
If you understood him, it would not be God.
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
The cost of obedience is small compared with the cost of disobedience.
Saint Augustine
You never go away from us, yet we have difficulty in returning to You. Come, Lord, stir us up and call us back. Kindle and seize us. Be our fire and our sweetness. Let us love. Let us run.
Saint Augustine
Let the Lord your God be your hope – seek for nothing else from him, but let him himself be your hope. There are people who hope from him riches or perishable and transitory honours, in short they hope to get from God things which are not God himself.
Saint Augustine
The mere change of custom, even though it may be of advantage in some respects, unsettles men by reason of the novelty: therefore, if it brings no advantage, it does much harm by unprofitably disturbing the Church.
Saint Augustine
The entire life of a good Christian is in fact an exercise of holy desire. You do not yet see what you long for, but the very act of desiring prepares you, so that when he comes you may see and be utterly satisfied.
Saint Augustine
In my deepest wound I saw your glory, and it dazzled me.
Saint Augustine
The same thing which is now called Christian religion existed among the ancients. They have begun to call 'Christian' the true religion which existed before.
Saint Augustine
Don't let your life give evidence against your tongue. Sing with your voices... sing also with your conduct.
Saint Augustine
The sufficiency of my merit is to know that my merit is not sufficient.
Saint Augustine
Longing desire prayeth always, though the tongue be silent. If thou art ever longing, thou art ever praying.
Saint Augustine
I want my friend to miss me as long as I miss him.
Saint Augustine
Don't go outside get back to yourself, in the inner man lies the Truth.
Saint Augustine
Our whole business in this Life is to restore to health the eye of the heart whereby God may be seen.
Saint Augustine
You don't love in your enemies what they are, but what you would have them become by your prayers.
Saint Augustine
