More quotes by Saint Augustine
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
How can the past and future be, when the past no longer is, and the future is not yet? As for the present, if it were always present and never moved on to become the past, it would not be time, but eternity.
Saint Augustine
One generation and another generation the generation by which we are made the faithful, and are born again by baptism the generation by which we shall rise again from the dead, and shall live with the Angels for ever.
Saint Augustine
For whenever unbaptized persons die confessing Christ, this confession is of the same efficacy for the remission of sins as if they were washed in the sacred font of baptism.
Saint Augustine
God is always trying to give good things to us, but our hands are too full to receive them.
Saint Augustine
God in his omnipotence could not give more, in His wisdom He knew not how to give more, in His riches He had not more to give, than the Eucharist.
Saint Augustine
A free curiosity is more effective in learning than a rigid discipline.
Saint Augustine
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
We take for granted the slow miracle whereby water in the irrigation of a vineyard becomes wine. It is only when Christ turns water into wine, in a quick motion, as it were, that we stand amazed.
Saint Augustine
The heart of man is restless until he finds rest in Thee.
Saint Augustine
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
Love and do what you want. If you stop talking, you will stop talking with love if you shout, you will shout with love if you correct, you will correct with love.
Saint Augustine
Wonderful is the depth of thy words, whose surface is before us, gently leading on the little ones: and yet a wonderful deepness, O my God, a wonderful deepness. It is awe to look into it even an awfulness of honour, and a trembling of love.
Saint Augustine
Every good and true Christian should understand that wherever he may find the truth it is his Lord's.
Saint Augustine
Hope has two beautiful daughters their names are Anger and Courage. Anger at the way things are, and Courage to see that they do not remain as they are.
Saint Augustine
There is no remedy so powerful against the heat of concupiscence as the remembrance of our Savior's Passion. In all my difficulties I never found anything so efficacious as the wounds of Christ: In them I sleep secure from them I derive new life.
Saint Augustine
There are wolves within, and there are sheep without.
Saint Augustine
Six is a number perfect in itself, and not because God created the world in six days rather the contrary is true. God created the world in six days because this number is perfect, and it would remain perfect, even if the work of the six days did not exist.
Saint Augustine
Thou hast created us for Thyself, and our heart is not quiet until it rests in Thee.
Saint Augustine
It is the function of perfection to make one know one's imperfection.
Saint Augustine
