Saint Augustine
You are what you love.
Saint Augustine
Who can control this when its appetite is aroused? No one! In the very movement of this appetite, then, it has no mode that responds to the decisions of the will ...

Saint Augustine
Our whole business in this Life is to restore to health the eye of the heart whereby God may be seen.

Forgiveness is the remission of sins. For it is by this that what has been lost, and was found, is saved from being lost again.
