More quotes by Saint Augustine
AugustineThe wounds of a friend are better than the kisses of an enemy. To love with sternness is better than to deceive with gentleness.... In Luke [14:23] it is written: Compel people to come in! By threats of the wrath of God, the Father draws souls to his Son.
Saint Augustine
He who commends the nature of the soul as the supreme good, and condemns the nature of the flesh as evil, at once both carnally desires the soul, and carnally flies the flesh, because he feels thus from human vanity, not from divine truth.
Saint Augustine
Beauty is the brilliance of truth.
Saint Augustine
What grace is meant to do is to help good people, not to escape their sufferings, but to bear them with a stout heart, with a fortitude that finds its strength in faith.
Saint Augustine
God is always trying to give good things to us, but our hands are too full to receive them.
Saint Augustine
Love and do what you want. If you stop talking, you will stop talking with love if you shout, you will shout with love if you correct, you will correct with love.
Saint Augustine
I want my friend to miss me as long as I miss him.
Saint Augustine
Disturbers are to be rebuked, the low spirited to be encouraged, the infirm to be supported, objectors confuted, the treacherous guarded against, the unskilled taught, the lazy aroused, the contentious restrained, the haughty repressed, the poor relieved, the oppressed liberated, the good approved, the evil borne with, and all are to be loved!
Saint Augustine
Recognize in this bread what hung on the cross, and in this chalice what flowed from His side... whatever was in many and varied ways announced beforehand in the sacrifices of the Old Testament pertains to this one sacrifice which is revealed in the New Testament.
Saint Augustine
What you see is the bread and the chalice that is what your own eyes report to you. But what your faith obliges you to accept is that the bread is the body of Christ and the chalice is the blood of Christ. This has been said very briefly, which may perhaps be sufficient for faith yet faith does not desire instruction
Saint Augustine
No eulogy is due to him who simply does his duty and nothing more.
Saint Augustine
And I entered and beheld with the eye of my soul... the Light Unchangeable... He that knows the Truth, knows what that Light is and he that knows It, knows Eternity.
Saint Augustine
Do not be afraid to throw yourself on the Lord! He will not draw back and let you fall! Put your worries aside and throw yourself on him He will welcome you and heal you.
Saint Augustine
Bad times, hard times, this is what people keep saying but let us live well, and times shall be good. We are the times: Such as we are, such are the times.
Saint Augustine
Unhappy is the soul enslaved by the love of anything that is mortal.
Saint Augustine
To abstain from sin when one can no longer sin is to be forsaken by sin, not to forsake it.
Saint Augustine
Woman was merely man's helpmate, a function which pertains to her alone. She is not the image of God but as far as man is concerned, he is by himself the image of God.
Saint Augustine
In my deepest wound I saw your glory, and it dazzled me.
Saint Augustine
A free curiosity is more effective in learning than a rigid discipline.
Saint Augustine
The weakness of little children's limbs is innocent, not their souls.
Saint Augustine
