God loves each of us as if there were only one of us.
Saint Augustine
Image
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
Image
Slavery is not penal in character and planned by that law which commands the preservation of the natural order and forbids disturbance.
Saint Augustine
Image
Pray as though everything depended on God. Work as though everything depended on you.
Saint Augustine
Image
Humility is first, second and third in Christianity.
Saint Augustine
Image
They the hazers or eversores were rightly called Overturners, since they had themselves been first overturned and perverted, tricked by those same devils who were secretly mocking them in the very acts by which they amused themselves in mocking and making fools of others.

Love and say it with your life.
Saint Augustine
Image
You are surprised that the world is losing its grip? That the world is grown old? Don't hold onto the old man, the world don't refuse to regain your youth in Christ, who says to you: 'The world is passing away the world is losing its grip the world is short of breath. Don't fear, your youth shall be renewed as an eagle.'
Saint Augustine
Image
God had one son on earth without sin, but never one without suffering.
Saint Augustine
Image
Let us leave a little room for reflection in our lives, room too for silence. Let us look within ourselves and see whether there is some delightful hidden place inside where we can be free of noise and argument. Let us hear the Word of God in stillness and perhaps we will then come to understand it.
Saint Augustine
Image
It is the function of perfection to make one know one's imperfection.
Saint Augustine
Image
The Gods occupy the loftiest regions, men the lowest, the demons the middle region...They have immortality of body, but passions of the mind in common with men.
Saint Augustine
Image
For so it is, O Lord my God, I measure it! But what it is I measure, I do not know.
Saint Augustine
Image
Thou hast created us for Thyself, and our heart is not quiet until it rests in Thee.
Saint Augustine
Image
What is time? If I am not asked, I know if I am asked, I don't.
Saint Augustine
Image
Longing desire prayeth always, though the tongue be silent. If thou art ever longing, thou art ever praying.
Saint Augustine
Image
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

What is grace? I know until you ask me when you ask me, I do not know.
Saint Augustine
