Image
You are surprised that the world is losing its grip? That the world is grown old? Don't hold onto the old man, the world don't refuse to regain your youth in Christ, who says to you: 'The world is passing away the world is losing its grip the world is short of breath. Don't fear, your youth shall be renewed as an eagle.'
Saint Augustine
Image
Thou hast created us for Thyself, and our heart is not quiet until it rests in Thee.
Saint Augustine
Image
God does not expect us to submit our faith to him without reason, but the very limits of our reason make faith a necessity.
Saint Augustine
Image
We speak, but it is God who teaches.
Saint Augustine
Image
The mind commands the body and is instantly obeyed. The mind commands itself and meets resistance. The mind commands the hand to move, and it so easy that one hardly distinguishes the order from its execution. Yet mind is mind and hand is body. The mind orders the mind to will. The recipient of the order is itself, yet it does not perform it.
Saint Augustine
Image
Between urine and filth we are born.
Saint Augustine
Image
Our life is a gymnasium of desire.... When Christians say God, what do we wish to express? This word is all that we yearn for.
Saint Augustine
Image
Why persist in walking difficult and toilsome paths? There is no repose where you are seeking it. Search as you like, it is not where you are looking. You are seeking a happy life in the realm of death, and it will not be found there. How could life be happy where there is no life at all?
Saint Augustine
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
For what am I to myself without You, but a guide to my own downfall?
Saint Augustine
Image
You can live, provided you live that is, you can live for ever, provided you live a good life.
Saint Augustine
Image
This awful catastrophe is not the end but the beginning. History does not end so. It is the way its chapters open.
Saint Augustine
Image
Keep on adding, keep on walking, keep on progressing: do not delay on the road, do not go back, do not deviate.
Saint Augustine
Image
There is no greater invitation to love than loving first.
Saint Augustine
Image
Never judge a philosophy by its abuse.
Saint Augustine
Image
It was pride that changed angels into devils it is humility that makes men as angels.
Saint Augustine
Image
The Bible was composed in such a way that as beginners mature, its meaning grows with them.
