Patience is the companion of wisdom.
Saint Augustine
Suppress prostitution, and capricious lusts will overthrow society.
Saint Augustine
It is better that the truth be known than that scandal be covered up.
Saint Augustine
If bodies please thee, praise God on occasion of them, and turn back thy love upon their Maker lest in these things which please thee, thou displease. If souls please thee, be they loved in God: for they too are mutable, but in Him they are firmly established.
Saint Augustine
Love God, then do what you will.
Saint Augustine
Though defensive violence will always be 'a sad necessity' in the eyes of men of principle, it would be still more unfortunate if wrongdoers should dominate just men.
Saint Augustine
For, were it not good that evil things should also exist, the omnipotent God would almost certainly not allow evil to be, since beyond doubt it is just as easy for Him not to allow what He does not will, as for Him to do what He will.
Saint Augustine
Man has been naturally so created that it is advantageous for him to be submissive, but disastrous for him to follow his own will, and not the will of his creator.
Saint Augustine
For, as it is written in the book of the Prophets: 'And the angel that spoke in me, said to me...' He does not say, 'Spoke to me' but 'Spoke in me'.
Saint Augustine
What difference, if you are mistaken? For if I am mistaken, I am. For he who is not, assuredly cannot be mistaken and therefore I am, if I am mistaken. Therefore because I am if I am mistaken, how am I mistaken that I am, when it is sure that I am, if I am mistaken.
Saint Augustine
Lord Jesus, don't let me lie when I say that I love you.....and protect me, for today I could betray you.
Saint Augustine
Free curiosity is of more value in learning than harsh discipline.
Saint Augustine
No one can begin a new life, unless he repent of the old.
Saint Augustine
Never judge a philosophy by its abuse.
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
Let him who desires to be harsh in making demands upon his debtors consider that he is God’s debtor.
Saint Augustine
Oh, God, to know you is life. To serve You is freedom. To praise you is the soul's joy and delight. Guard me with the power of Your grace here and in all places. Now and at all times, forever. Amen.
Saint Augustine
Two works of mercy set a person free: Forgive and you will be forgiven, and give and you will receive.
Saint Augustine
Remove justice, and what are kingdoms but gangs of criminals on a large scale?... A gang is a group of men... in which the plunder is divided according to an agreed convention. If this villainy... acquires territory, establishes a base, captures cities and subdues people, it then openly arrogates to itself the title of kingdom.
Saint Augustine
People travel to wonder at the height of mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long courses of rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motion of the stars and they pass by themselves without wondering.
