More quotes by Saint Augustine
It is better that the truth be known than that scandal be covered up.
Saint Augustine
Who would not shudder if he were given the choice of eternal death or life again as a child ? Who would not choose to die ?
Saint Augustine
Some people, in order to discover God, read books. But there is a great book: the very appearance of created things. Look above you! Look below you! Read it. God, whom you want to discover, never wrote that book with ink. Instead, He set before your eyes the things that He had made. Can you ask for a louder voice than that?
Saint Augustine
God is not what you imagine or what you think you understand. If you understand you have failed.
Saint Augustine
The entire life of a good Christian is in fact an exercise of holy desire. You do not yet see what you long for, but the very act of desiring prepares you, so that when he comes you may see and be utterly satisfied.
Saint Augustine
Two criminals were crucified with Christ. One was saved do not despair. One was not do not presume.
Saint Augustine
God will cleanse your sins if you yourself are dissatisfied with yourself and will keep on changing until you are perfect.
Saint Augustine
The customs of God's people and the institutions of our ancestors are to be considered as laws. And those who throw contempt on the customs of the Church ought to be punished as those who disobey the law of God.
Saint Augustine
Don't go outside get back to yourself, in the inner man lies the Truth.
Saint Augustine
A free curiosity is more effective in learning than a rigid discipline.
Saint Augustine
He was created of a mother whom He created. He was carried by hands that He formed. He cried in the manger in wordless infancy. He, the Word, without whom all human eloquence is mute.
Saint Augustine
Moreover, from the time when He said, 'Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of heaven' and again, 'He that loseth his life for my sake shall find it ' no one becomes a member of Christ except it be either by baptism in Christ, or death for Christ.
Saint Augustine
The greatest evil is physical pain.
Saint Augustine
I fell away from you, my God, and I went astray, too far astray from you, the support of my youth, and I became to myself a land of want.
Saint Augustine
Heaven forbid that we should believe in such a way as not to accept or seek reasons, since we could not even believe if we did not possess rational souls.
Saint Augustine
Love has reasons that reason knows not.
Saint Augustine
It is the function of perfection to make one know one's imperfection.
Saint Augustine
In my deepest wound I saw your glory, and it dazzled me.
Saint Augustine
Whoever possesses God is happy.
Saint Augustine
If you should ask me what are the ways of God, I would tell you that the first is humility, the second is humility, and the third is humility. Not that there are no other precepts to give, but if humility does not preceed all that we do, our efforts are fruitless.
Saint Augustine
