More quotes by Saint Augustine
Whoever possesses God is happy.
Saint Augustine
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
Will is to grace as the horse is to the rider.
Saint Augustine
In order to discover the character of people we have only to observe what they love.
Saint Augustine
Idolatry is worshipping anything that ought to be used, or using anything that is meant to be worshipped.
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
The people who remained victorious were less like conquerors than conquered.
Saint Augustine
You have enemies. For who can live on this earth without them? Take heed to yourselves: love them. In no way can your enemy so hurt you by his violence, as you hurt yourself if you love him not.
Saint Augustine
To my God a heart of flame To my fellow man a heart of love To myself a heart of steel.
Saint Augustine
The peace of the celestial city is the perfectly ordered and harmonious enjoyment of God, and of one another in God. (City of God, Book 19)
Saint Augustine
If a parricide is more wicked than anyone who commits homicide-because he kills not merely a man but a near relative-without doubt worse still is he who kills himself, because there is none nearer to a man than himself.
Saint Augustine
For what is the self-complacent man but a slave to his own self-praise.
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
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
The one who is good, is free even being a slave the one who is bad remains a slave even being a king.
Saint Augustine
It was in His flesh that Christ walked among us and it is His flesh that He has given us to eat for our salvation but no one eats of this flesh without having first adored it . . . and not only do we not sin in thus adoring it, but we would be sinning if we did not do so.
Saint Augustine
Singing is a lover's thing.
Saint Augustine
Whatever skills I have acquired, whatever gifts I have been given, I place them at Your service.
Saint Augustine
Not to give to those in need what is to you superfluous is akin to fraud.
Saint Augustine
Go forth on your path, as it exists only through your walking.
Saint Augustine
