More quotes by Saint Augustine

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
He who is filled with love is filled with God himself.
Saint Augustine

Saint Augustine
Since love grows within you, so beauty grows. For love is the beauty of the soul.
Saint Augustine

Saint Augustine
Do you know who the upright of heart are? They are those who wish what God wishes. Therefore, do not try to twist God's will to you own but correct your will to that of God. The will of God is a rule of conduct. By it you have the means of being converted and of correcting your evil ways.
Saint Augustine
Beauty is the brilliance of truth.
Saint Augustine

Saint Augustine
I held my heart back from positively accepting anything, since I was afraid of another fall, and in this condition of suspense I was being all the more killed.
Saint Augustine
Just as it is agreed that we all wish to be happy, so it is that we all wish to be wise, since no one without wisdom is happy.
Saint Augustine
Oh, beauty, ever ancient and ever new.
Saint Augustine
The punishment of every disordered mind is its own disorder.
Saint Augustine
Pray as though everything depended on God. Work as though everything depended on you.
Saint Augustine
Any woman who does not give birth to as many children as she is capable is guilty of murder.
Saint Augustine
For what is the self-complacent man but a slave to his own self-praise.
Saint Augustine
God's faithful servant has no desire for people to say or to give to him, or what he likes to hear or see, for his first and greatest aim is to hear what is most pleasing to God.
Saint Augustine
What can be hoped for which is not believed?
Saint Augustine
Suppress prostitution, and capricious lusts will overthrow society.
Saint Augustine
