Saint Augustine
Image
If by fate anyone means the will or power of God, let him keep his meaning but mend his language for fate commonly means a necessary process which will have its way apart from the will of God and men.

Saint Augustine
Image
Men go forth to wonder at the height of mountains, the huge waves of the sea, the broad flow of the ocean, the course of the stars-and forget to wonder at themselves. Beware of despairing about yourself: you are commanded to put your trust in God, and not in yourself.
Saint Augustine
Image
Because a thing is eloquently expressed it should not be taken to be as necessarily true nor because it is uttered with stammering lips should it be supposed false.
Saint Augustine
Image
Love is the beauty of the soul.
Saint Augustine
Image
The spiritual virtue of a sacrament is like light although it passes among the impure, it is not polluted.
Saint Augustine
Image
Christ was born of a woman without the man.
Saint Augustine
Image
I will not live an instant that I do not live in love. Whoever loves does all things without suffering, or, suffering, loves his suffering.
Saint Augustine
Image
Go forth on your path, as it exists only through your walking.
Saint Augustine
Image
Whoever is still seeking for miracles so that he may believe is himself a wonder, who does not believe while the world around him does.
Saint Augustine
