More quotes by Saint Augustine
Love is the beauty of the soul.
Saint Augustine
For, were it not good that evil things should also exist, the omnipotent God would almost certainly not allow evil to be, since beyond doubt it is just as easy for Him not to allow what He does not will, as for Him to do what He will.
Saint Augustine
Man has been naturally so created that it is advantageous for him to be submissive, but disastrous for him to follow his own will, and not the will of his creator.
Saint Augustine
The human race is inquisitive about other people's lives, but negligent to correct their own.
Saint Augustine
Recognize in this bread what hung on the cross, and in this chalice what flowed from His side... whatever was in many and varied ways announced beforehand in the sacrifices of the Old Testament pertains to this one sacrifice which is revealed in the New Testament.
Saint Augustine
Unjust laws aren't laws at all.
Saint Augustine
Our life is a gymnasium of desire.... When Christians say God, what do we wish to express? This word is all that we yearn for.
Saint Augustine
Lord, teach me to know you, and to know myself.
Saint Augustine
Find out how much God has given you and from it take what you need the remainder is needed by others.
Saint Augustine
Eternity is the now that does not pass away.
Saint Augustine
This awful catastrophe is not the end but the beginning. History does not end so. It is the way its chapters open.
Saint Augustine
While the best men are guided by love, most mean are still goaded by fear.
Saint Augustine
The one who sings, prays twice.
Saint Augustine
For a sentence is not complete unless each word, once its syllables have been pronounced, gives way to make room for the next...They are set up on the course of their existence, and the faster they climb towards its zenith, the more they hasten towards the point where they exist no more.
Saint Augustine
Two works of mercy set a person free: Forgive and you will be forgiven, and give and you will receive.
Saint Augustine
Do you wish to be great? Then begin by being little. Do you desire to construct a vast and lofty fabric? Think first about the foundations of humility. The higher your structure is to be, the deeper must be its foundation. Modest humility is beauty's crown.
Saint Augustine
If you are silent, be silent out of love. If you speak, speak out of love.
Saint Augustine
It was in His flesh that Christ walked among us and it is His flesh that He has given us to eat for our salvation but no one eats of this flesh without having first adored it . . . and not only do we not sin in thus adoring it, but we would be sinning if we did not do so.
Saint Augustine
There are wolves within, and there are sheep without.
Saint Augustine
For you [God] are infinite and never change. In you today never comes to an end: and yet our today does come to an end in you, because time, as well as everything else, exists in you. If it did not, it would have no means of passing. And since your years never come to an end, for you they are simply today.
Saint Augustine
