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
That your enemies have been created is God's doing that they hate you and wish to ruin you is their own doing. What should you say about them in your mind? Lord be merciful to them, forgive them their sins, put the fear of God in them, change them! You are loving in them not what they are, but what you would have them to become.
Saint Augustine
Keep on adding, keep on walking, keep on progressing: do not delay on the road, do not go back, do not deviate.

God in his omnipotence could not give more, in His wisdom He knew not how to give more, in His riches He had not more to give, than the Eucharist.
Saint Augustine
I want my friend to miss me as long as I miss him.
Saint Augustine

The reward of patience Is patience.
Saint Augustine
If God is, why is there evil? But if God is not, why is there good?
Saint Augustine
