More quotes by Saint Augustine
My weight is my love.
Saint Augustine
Not to give to those in need what is to you superfluous is akin to fraud.
Saint Augustine
Because a thing is eloquently expressed it should not be taken to be as necessarily true nor because it is uttered with stammering lips should it be supposed false.
Saint Augustine
Love, and do what you will. If you are silent, be silent for love or if you cry out, cry out for love. If you chastise, chastise for love if you spare, spare for love.
Saint Augustine
Disturbers are to be rebuked, the low spirited to be encouraged, the infirm to be supported, objectors confuted, the treacherous guarded against, the unskilled taught, the lazy aroused, the contentious restrained, the haughty repressed, the poor relieved, the oppressed liberated, the good approved, the evil borne with, and all are to be loved!
Saint Augustine
It is not that we keep His commandments first and that then He loves but that He loves us and then we keep His commandments. This is that grace which is revealed to the humble but hidden from the proud.
Saint Augustine
God is best known in not knowing him.
Saint Augustine
So you see how endlessly futile and fruitless it would be if we wanted to refute their objections every time they obstinately resolved not to think through what they say but merely to speak, just so long as they contradict our arguments in any way they can.
Saint Augustine
What is grace? I know until you ask me when you ask me, I do not know.
Saint Augustine
You don't love in your enemies what they are, but what you would have them become by your prayers.
Saint Augustine
Dilige et quod vis fac. (Love and then what you will, do.)
Saint Augustine
Love God, then do what you will.
Saint Augustine
Thou movest us to delight in praising Thee for Thou hast formed us for Thyself, and our hearts are restless till they find rest in Thee.
Saint Augustine
Though defensive violence will always be 'a sad necessity' in the eyes of men of principle, it would be still more unfortunate if wrongdoers should dominate just men.
Saint Augustine
The angels surround and help the priest when he is celebrating Mass.
Saint Augustine
Thou must be emptied of that wherewith thou art full, that thou mayest be filled with that whereof thou art empty.
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
War should we waged without love of violence, cruelty, or enmity.
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
There is another form of temptation, even more fraught with danger. This is the disease of curiosity. It is this which drives us to try and discover the secrets of nature, those secrets which are beyond our understanding, which can avail us nothing and which man should not wish to learn.
Saint Augustine
