More quotes by Saint Augustine
The honors of this world, what are they but puff, and emptiness, and peril of falling?
Saint Augustine
Did my infancy succeed another age of mine that dies before it? Was it that which I spent within my mother's womb?... And what before that life again, O God of my joy, was I anywhere or in any body?
Saint Augustine
That your enemies have been created is God's doing that they hate you and wish to ruin you is their own doing. What should you say about them in your mind? Lord be merciful to them, forgive them their sins, put the fear of God in them, change them! You are loving in them not what they are, but what you would have them to become.
Saint Augustine
To wisdom belongs the intellectual apprehension of eternal things to knowledge, the rational knowledge of temporal things.
Saint Augustine
Just think of the illimitable abundance and the marvelous loveliness of light, or of the beauty of the sun and moon and stars.
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
Jesus took His flesh from the flesh of Mary
Saint Augustine
What can be hoped for which is not believed?
Saint Augustine
Who can map out the various forces at play in one soul? Man is a great depth, O Lord. The hairs of his head are easier by far to count than his feeling, the movements of his heart.
Saint Augustine
I do not comprehend all that I am. Is the mind, therefore, too limited to possess itself?
Saint Augustine
For, were it not good that evil things should also exist, the omnipotent God would almost certainly not allow evil to be, since beyond doubt it is just as easy for Him not to allow what He does not will, as for Him to do what He will.
Saint Augustine
Even in waging war, cherish the spirit of peace-maker that, by conquering those whom you attack, you may lead them back to the advantages of peace.
Saint Augustine
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
The world is a great book, of which they that never stir from home read only a page.
Saint Augustine
He who commends the nature of the soul as the supreme good, and condemns the nature of the flesh as evil, at once both carnally desires the soul, and carnally flies the flesh, because he feels thus from human vanity, not from divine truth.
Saint Augustine
Poetry is devil's wine.
Saint Augustine
The spiritual virtue of a sacrament is like light although it passes among the impure, it is not polluted.
Saint Augustine
Charity is no substitute for justice withheld.
Saint Augustine
Forgiveness is the remission of sins. For it is by this that what has been lost, and was found, is saved from being lost again.
Saint Augustine
In my deepest wound I saw your glory, and it dazzled me.
Saint Augustine
