Saint Augustine
If But for the Mercy of my Lord, that my paradise becomes a woman's hell.
Saint Augustine
And how shall I call upon my God, my God and Lord, since, when I call for Him, I shall be calling Him to myself? and what room is there within me, whither my God can come into me? whither can God come into me, God who made heaven and earth? is there, indeed, O Lord my God, aught in me that can contain thee?
Saint Augustine

Saint Augustine
The argument is at an end.
Saint Augustine
The honors of this world, what are they but puff, and emptiness, and peril of falling?
Saint Augustine
Better that I find you, God, and leave the questions unanswered, than to find the answers without finding you.
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
You are my Lord, because You have no need of my goodness.
Saint Augustine
Can any praise be worthy of the Lord's majesty?
Saint Augustine
Let us sing a new song, not with our lips, but with our lives.
Saint Augustine
He that is jealous is not in love.
Saint Augustine
All diseases of Christians are to be ascribed to demons chiefly do they torment freshly-baptized Christians, yea, even the guiltless new-born infants.
Saint Augustine
Sin is looking for the right thing in the wrong place.
Saint Augustine
