Image
So you see how endlessly futile and fruitless it would be if we wanted to refute their objections every time they obstinately resolved not to think through what they say but merely to speak, just so long as they contradict our arguments in any way they can.
Saint Augustine
Image
A young man had become possessed by a devil. The thing within him burst into loud lamentation and departed from the man. At once the youth's eye fell out on his cheek, and the whole of the pupil which had been black became white.
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
By the fall a poison was handed to mankind through a woman [Eve], by the Redemption man was given salvation also through a woman [Mary].

Da mihi castitatem et continentiam, sed noli modo (Give me chastity and continence, but not just yet)!
Saint Augustine
Image
For you [God] are infinite and never change. In you today never comes to an end: and yet our today does come to an end in you, because time, as well as everything else, exists in you. If it did not, it would have no means of passing. And since your years never come to an end, for you they are simply today.
Saint Augustine

Saint Augustine
Image
Remember this. When people choose to withdraw far from a fire, the fire continues to give warmth, but they grow cold. When people choose to withdraw far from light, the light continues to be bright in itself but they are in darkness. This is also the case when people withdraw from God.
Saint Augustine
Image
The sole purpose of life is to gain merit for life in eternity.
Saint Augustine
Image
It is love that asks, that seeks, that knocks, that finds, and that is faithful to what it finds.
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
The playthings of our elders are called business.
Saint Augustine
Image
The Old (Testament) is in the New (Testament) revealed, the New is in the Old concealed.
Saint Augustine
Image
...If humility does not precede all that we do, our efforts are fruitless.
Saint Augustine
Image
If you believe what you like in the gospels, and reject what you don't like, it is not the gospel you believe, but yourself.
Saint Augustine
Image
Jesus took His flesh from the flesh of Mary
Saint Augustine
Image
What is time? If I am not asked, I know if I am asked, I don't.

God provides the wind, Man must raise the sail.
