Saint Augustine
I was unhappy and so is every soul unhappy which is tied to its love for mortal things when it loses them, it is torn in pieces, and it is then that it comes to realize the unhappiness which was there even before it lost them.
Saint Augustine
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
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
None save great men have been the authors of great heresies.
Saint Augustine
