More quotes by Saint Augustine
The playthings of our elders are called business.
Saint Augustine
For a sentence is not complete unless each word, once its syllables have been pronounced, gives way to make room for the next...They are set up on the course of their existence, and the faster they climb towards its zenith, the more they hasten towards the point where they exist no more.
Saint Augustine
This is the very perfection of a man, to find out his own imperfections.
Saint Augustine
The confession of evil works is the first beginning of good works.
Saint Augustine
If you are silent, be silent out of love. If you speak, speak out of love.
Saint Augustine
Someone who knows enough to become the owner of a tree, and gives thanks to you for the benefits it brings him, is in a better state, even if ignorant of its height in feet and the extent of its spread, than another who measures and counts all its branches but neither owns it nor knows its creator nor loves him.
Saint Augustine
Unhappy is the soul enslaved by the love of anything that is mortal.
Saint Augustine
Our heart is restless until it rests in You.
Saint Augustine
For you [God] are infinite and never change. In you today never comes to an end: and yet our today does come to an end in you, because time, as well as everything else, exists in you. If it did not, it would have no means of passing. And since your years never come to an end, for you they are simply today.
Saint Augustine
Love God, then do what you will.
Saint Augustine
Truth is not private property.
Saint Augustine
If God is, why is there evil? But if God is not, why is there good?
Saint Augustine
Never judge a philosophy by its abuse.
Saint Augustine
For it is better to suffer a little want than to have too much.
Saint Augustine
We take for granted the slow miracle whereby water in the irrigation of a vineyard becomes wine. It is only when Christ turns water into wine, in a quick motion, as it were, that we stand amazed.
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 we tread our vices under our feet, we make of them a ladder by which to rise to higher things.
Saint Augustine
Two criminals were crucified with Christ. One was saved do not despair. One was not do not presume.
Saint Augustine
The flesh does not by its own virtue purify, but is purified by virtue of the Word by which it was assumed, when 'the Word became flesh and dwelt among us' (Jn. 1:14).
Saint Augustine
God is always trying to give good things to us, but our hands are too full to receive them.
Saint Augustine
