What grace is meant to do is to help good people, not to escape their sufferings, but to bear them with a stout heart, with a fortitude that finds its strength in faith.

More quotes by Saint Augustine
Anger is a weed hate is a tree
Saint Augustine
Your persistent longing is your persistent voice. But when love grows cold, the heart grows silent. Burning love is the outcry of the heart! If you are filled with longing all the time, you will keep crying out, and if your love perseveres, your cry will be heard without fail.
Saint Augustine
Let us leave a little room for reflection in our lives, room too for silence. Let us look within ourselves and see whether there is some delightful hidden place inside where we can be free of noise and argument. Let us hear the Word of God in stillness and perhaps we will then come to understand it.
Saint Augustine
Go forth on your path, as it exists only through your walking.
Saint Augustine
If God is, why is there evil? But if God is not, why is there good?
Saint Augustine
Better that I find you, God, and leave the questions unanswered, than to find the answers without finding you.
Saint Augustine
Now the Apostle, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, says, Knowledge inflates: but love edifies. The only correct inerpretation of this saying is that knowledge is valuable when charity informs it. Without charity, knowledge inflates that is, it exalts man to an arrogance which is nothing but a kind of windy emptiness.
Saint Augustine
Understanding is the wages of faith.
Saint Augustine
When large numbers of people share their joy in common, the happiness of each is greater because each adds fuel to the other's flame.
Saint Augustine
He who made thee is made in thee. He is made in thee through whom you were made.... Give milk, O mother, to him who is our food give milk to the bread that comes down from heaven.
Saint Augustine
Let the Lord your God be your hope – seek for nothing else from him, but let him himself be your hope. There are people who hope from him riches or perishable and transitory honours, in short they hope to get from God things which are not God himself.
Saint Augustine
If we tread our vices under our feet, we make of them a ladder by which to rise to higher things.
Saint Augustine
Lord, thou madest us for thyself, and we can find no rest till we find rest in thee.
Saint Augustine
Our heart is restless until it rests in You.
Saint Augustine
What is time? If I am not asked, I know if I am asked, I don't.
Saint Augustine
If you excuse yourself in confession, you shut up sin within your soul, and shut out pardon.
Saint Augustine
AugustineThe wounds of a friend are better than the kisses of an enemy. To love with sternness is better than to deceive with gentleness.... In Luke [14:23] it is written: Compel people to come in! By threats of the wrath of God, the Father draws souls to his Son.
Saint Augustine
Try to acquire the virtues you believe lacking in your brothers. Then you will no longer see their defects, for you will no longer have them yourself.
Saint Augustine
Just think of the illimitable abundance and the marvelous loveliness of light, or of the beauty of the sun and moon and stars.
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
