When, therefore, man lives according to man, not according to God, he is like the devil.
Saint Augustine
Image
If God seems slow in responding, it is because He is preparing a better gift. He will not deny us. God withholds what you are not yet ready for. He wants you to have a lively desire for His greatest gifts. All of which is to say, pray always and do not lose heart.
Saint Augustine
Image
Do you wish to be great? Then begin by being. Do you desire to construct a vast and lofty fabric? Think first about the foundations of humility. The higher your structure is to be, the deeper must be its foundation.
Saint Augustine
Image
For it is better to suffer a little want than to have too much.
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 understood him, it would not be God.
Saint Augustine
Image
I believe in order to understand
Saint Augustine
Image
I do not comprehend all that I am. Is the mind, therefore, too limited to possess itself?
Saint Augustine
Image
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.
Saint Augustine
Image
The one who sings, prays twice.
Saint Augustine
Image
You can live, provided you live that is, you can live for ever, provided you live a good life.
Saint Augustine
Image
There is something in humility which, strangely enough, exalts the heart, and something in pride which debases it.
Saint Augustine
Image
Let him who desires to be harsh in making demands upon his debtors consider that he is God’s debtor.
Saint Augustine
Image
You (God) have not only commanded continence, that is, from what things we are to restrain our love, but also justice, that is, on what we are to bestow our love.
Saint Augustine
Image
What are kingdoms without justice? They're just gangs of bandits.
