We take for granted the slow miracle whereby water in the irrigation of a vineyard becomes wine. It is only when Christ turns water into wine, in a quick motion, as it were, that we stand amazed.

More quotes by Saint Augustine
Education is the food of youth, the delight of old age, the ornament of prosperity, the refuge and comfort of adversity, and the provocation to grace in the soul.
Saint Augustine
Some people, in order to discover God, read books. But there is a great book: the very appearance of created things. Look above you! Look below you! Read it. God, whom you want to discover, never wrote that book with ink. Instead, He set before your eyes the things that He had made. Can you ask for a louder voice than that?
Saint Augustine
God will cleanse your sins if you yourself are dissatisfied with yourself and will keep on changing until you are perfect.
Saint Augustine
You (God) have not only commanded continence, that is, from what things we are to restrain our love, but also justice, that is, on what we are to bestow our love.
Saint Augustine
For what is the self-complacent man but a slave to his own self-praise.
Saint Augustine
I would not believe in the Gospel, if the authority of the Catholic Church did not bid me to do so.
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
Better to have fewer wants than greater riches to supply increasing wants.
Saint Augustine
I make bold to say that it is profitable for the proud to fall, in order that they may be humbled in that for which they have exalted themselves.
Saint Augustine
If by fate anyone means the will or power of God, let him keep his meaning but mend his language for fate commonly means a necessary process which will have its way apart from the will of God and men.
Saint Augustine
Unhappy is the soul enslaved by the love of anything that is mortal.
Saint Augustine
Fill yourselves first and then only will you be able to give to others.
Saint Augustine
Desire only God, and your heart will be satisfied.
Saint Augustine
Love and say it with your life.
Saint Augustine
The measure of love is to love without measuring.
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
Doubt is but another element of faith.
Saint Augustine
We speak, but it is God who teaches.
Saint Augustine
Jesus took His flesh from the flesh of Mary
Saint Augustine
For if God is man's chief good, which you cannot deny, it clearly follows, since to seek the chief good is to live well, that to live well is nothing else but to love God with all the heart, with all the soul, with all the mind.
Saint Augustine
