A marriage without children is the world without the sun.
Saint Augustine
You have enemies. For who can live on this earth without them? Take heed to yourselves: love them. In no way can your enemy so hurt you by his violence, as you hurt yourself if you love him not.
Saint Augustine
The sufficiency of my merit is to know that my merit is not sufficient.
Saint Augustine
Although among heretics and schismatics there is the same Baptism, nevertheless, the remission of sins is not operative among them because of the very rottenness of discord and wickedness of dissension ...

Saint Augustine
Cantare amantis est ... Singing belongs to one who loves. (s. 336, 1 – PL 38, 1472).

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
Your persistent longing is your persistent voice. But when love grows cold, the heart grows silent. Burning love is the outcry of the heart! If you are filled with longing all the time, you will keep crying out, and if your love perseveres, your cry will be heard without fail.
Saint Augustine
Whoever possesses God is happy.
Saint Augustine
Nothing whatever pertaining to godliness and real holiness can be accomplished without grace .
Saint Augustine
What difference, if you are mistaken? For if I am mistaken, I am. For he who is not, assuredly cannot be mistaken and therefore I am, if I am mistaken. Therefore because I am if I am mistaken, how am I mistaken that I am, when it is sure that I am, if I am mistaken.
Saint Augustine
God does not expect us to submit our faith to him without reason, but the very limits of our reason make faith a necessity.
Saint Augustine
Every city is a living body.
