More quotes by Saint Augustine
AugustineThe wounds of a friend are better than the kisses of an enemy. To love with sternness is better than to deceive with gentleness.... In Luke [14:23] it is written: Compel people to come in! By threats of the wrath of God, the Father draws souls to his Son.

Saint Augustine
The peace of the celestial city is the perfectly ordered and harmonious enjoyment of God, and of one another in God. (City of God, Book 19)

Saint Augustine
Complete abstinence is easier than perfect moderation.
Saint Augustine
The heart of man is restless until he finds rest in Thee.
Saint Augustine
The spiritual virtue of a sacrament is like light although it passes among the impure, it is not polluted.
Saint Augustine
The measure of love is to love without measuring.
Saint Augustine
The purpose of all wars, is peace.
Saint Augustine
Trials and tribulations offer us a chance to make reparation for our past faults and sins. On such occasions the Lord comes to us like a physician to heal the wounds left by our sins. Tribulation is the divine medicine.
Saint Augustine
Be always displeased at what thou art, if thou desirest to attain to what thou art not.
Saint Augustine
If you are suffering from a bad man's injustice, forgive him lest there be two bad men.
Saint Augustine
