Image
I will not live an instant that I do not live in love. Whoever loves does all things without suffering, or, suffering, loves his suffering.
Saint Augustine
Image
For what is time? ... Who can even in thought comprehend it, so as to utter a word about it? ... If no one asks me, I know: If I wish to explain it to one that asketh, I know not.
Saint Augustine
Image
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
Image
Don't go outside get back to yourself, in the inner man lies the Truth.
Saint Augustine
Image
Modo, et modo, non habebent modum. By-and-by has no end.
Saint Augustine

Who would not shudder if he were given the choice of eternal death or life again as a child ? Who would not choose to die ?

God provides the wind, Man must raise the sail.
Saint Augustine
Image
He was created of a mother whom He created. He was carried by hands that He formed. He cried in the manger in wordless infancy. He, the Word, without whom all human eloquence is mute.
Saint Augustine
Image
Two works of mercy set a person free: Forgive and you will be forgiven, and give and you will receive.
Saint Augustine
Image
Do what you can and pray for what you cannot yet do.
Saint Augustine
Image
For a sentence is not complete unless each word, once its syllables have been pronounced, gives way to make room for the next...They are set up on the course of their existence, and the faster they climb towards its zenith, the more they hasten towards the point where they exist no more.
Saint Augustine
Image
The confession of evil works is the first beginning of good works.
Saint Augustine
Image
You never go away from us, yet we have difficulty in returning to You. Come, Lord, stir us up and call us back. Kindle and seize us. Be our fire and our sweetness. Let us love. Let us run.
Saint Augustine
Image
Let us, on both sides, lay aside all arrogance. Let us not, on either side, claim that we have already discovered the truth. Let us seek it together as something which is known to neither of us. For then only may we seek it, lovingly and tranquilly, if there be no bold presumption that it is already discovered and possessed.
Saint Augustine
Image
Where love is, what can be wanting? Where it is not, what can possibly be profitable?
Saint Augustine
Image
What can be hoped for which is not believed?
Saint Augustine
Image
Man has been naturally so created that it is advantageous for him to be submissive, but disastrous for him to follow his own will, and not the will of his creator.
Saint Augustine
Image
Except he be willing, man cannot believe.
Saint Augustine
