Since love grows within you, so beauty grows. For love is the beauty of the soul.
Saint Augustine
Image
Every city is a living body.
Saint Augustine
Image
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
Image
It is not in virtue of its liberty that the human will attains to grace, it is much rather by grace that it attains to liberty.
Saint Augustine

Saint Augustine
Image
Let us leave a little room for reflection in our lives, room too for silence.

Let us hear the Word of God in stillness and perhaps we will then come to understand it.
Saint Augustine
Image
You can live, provided you live that is, you can live for ever, provided you live a good life.
Saint Augustine
Image
They the hazers or eversores were rightly called Overturners, since they had themselves been first overturned and perverted, tricked by those same devils who were secretly mocking them in the very acts by which they amused themselves in mocking and making fools of others.
Saint Augustine
Image
Where love is, what can be wanting? Where it is not, what can possibly be profitable?
Saint Augustine
Image
Give me yourself, O my God, give yourself back to me. Lo, I love you, but if my love is too mean, let me love more passionately. I cannot gauge my love, nor know how far it fails, how much more love I need for my life to set its course straight into your arms, never swerving until hidden in the covert of your face.
Saint Augustine
Image
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
Image
He who denies the existence of God, has some reason for wishing that God did not exist.
Saint Augustine
Image
Be always displeased at what thou art, if thou desirest to attain to what thou art not.
Saint Augustine
