More quotes by Saint Augustine
It is not often that we use language correctly usually we use it incorrectly, though we understand each others meaning.
Saint Augustine
We make ourselves a ladder out of our vices if we trample the vices themselves underfoot.
Saint Augustine
Consequently, if the republic is the weal of the people, and there is no people if it be not associated by a common acknowledgment of right, and if there is no right where there is no justice, then most certainly it follows that there is no republic where there is no justice.
Saint Augustine
In my deepest wound I saw your glory, and it dazzled me.
Saint Augustine
The heart of man is restless until he finds rest in Thee.
Saint Augustine
The good man, though a slave, is free the wicked, though he reigns, is a slave.
Saint Augustine
A temptation arises: it is the wind. It disturbs you: it is the surging of the seas. This is the time to awaken Christ and let Him remind you of these words
Saint Augustine
For where I found Truth, there found I my God, the Truth itself which since I learnt, I have not forgotten.
Saint Augustine
If they find a Christian mistaken in a field which they themselves know well and hear him maintaining his foolish opinions about our books, how are they going to believe those books in matters concerning the resurrection of the dead, the hope of eternal life, and the kingdom of heaven.
Saint Augustine
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
If you excuse yourself in confession, you shut up sin within your soul, and shut out pardon.
Saint Augustine
There is another form of temptation, even more fraught with danger. This is the disease of curiosity. It is this which drives us to try and discover the secrets of nature, those secrets which are beyond our understanding, which can avail us nothing and which man should not wish to learn.
Saint Augustine
The punishment of every disordered mind is its own disorder.
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
Better that I find you, God, and leave the questions unanswered, than to find the answers without finding you.
Saint Augustine
The world is a great book, of which they that never stir from home read only a page.
Saint Augustine
God is not what you imagine or what you think you understand. If you understand you have failed.
Saint Augustine
If you are silent, be silent out of love. If you speak, speak out of love.
Saint Augustine
Should you ask me what is the first thing in religion, I should reply that the first, second, and third thing therein is humility.
Saint Augustine
So you see how endlessly futile and fruitless it would be if we wanted to refute their objections every time they obstinately resolved not to think through what they say but merely to speak, just so long as they contradict our arguments in any way they can.
Saint Augustine
