More quotes by Saint Augustine
You are what you love.
Saint Augustine
God is more truly imagined than expressed, and He exists more truly than He is imagined.
Saint Augustine
Temperance is love surrendering itself wholly to Him who is its object courage is love bearing all things gladly for the sake of Him who is its object justice is love serving only Him who is its object, and therefore rightly ruling prudence is love making wise distinction between what hinders and what helps itself.
Saint Augustine
The measure of charity may be taken from the want of desires. As desires diminish in the soul, charity increases in it and when it no longer feels any desire, then it possesses perfect charity.
Saint Augustine
We both exist and know that we exist, and rejoice in this knowledge.
Saint Augustine
What difference, if you are mistaken? For if I am mistaken, I am. For he who is not, assuredly cannot be mistaken and therefore I am, if I am mistaken. Therefore because I am if I am mistaken, how am I mistaken that I am, when it is sure that I am, if I am mistaken.
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
If you understand, it is not God.
Saint Augustine
While the best men are guided by love, most mean are still goaded by fear.
Saint Augustine
Nothing so casts down the manly mind from it's height as the fondling of women and those bodily contacts which belong to the married state.
Saint Augustine
The human race is inquisitive about other people's lives, but negligent to correct their own.
Saint Augustine
Whoever possesses God is happy.
Saint Augustine
Choose to love whomsoever thou wilt: all else will follow.
Saint Augustine
Thou hast created us for Thyself, and our heart is not quiet until it rests in Thee.
Saint Augustine
For it is better to suffer a little want than to have too much.
Saint Augustine
The measure of love is to love without measuring.
Saint Augustine
God is not greater if you reverence Him, but you are greater if you serve Him.
Saint Augustine
Anger is a weed hate is a tree
Saint Augustine
Except he be willing, man cannot believe.
Saint Augustine
There is something in humility which, strangely enough, exalts the heart, and something in pride which debases it.
Saint Augustine
