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
Choose to love whomsoever thou wilt: all else will follow.
Saint Augustine
Give her two red roses, each with a note. The first note says For the woman I love and the second, For my best friend.
Saint Augustine
I was in misery, and misery is the state of every soul overcome by friendship with mortal things and lacerated when they are lost. Then the soul becomes aware of the misery which is its actual condition even before it loses them.
Saint Augustine
Beware of despairing about yourself: you are commanded to put your trust in God, and not in yourself.
Saint Augustine
This very moment I may, if I desire, become the friend of God.
Saint Augustine
Where love is, what can be wanting? Where it is not, what can possibly be profitable?
Saint Augustine
