More quotes by Saint Augustine
It is love that asks, that seeks, that knocks, that finds, and that is faithful to what it finds.
Saint Augustine
It is not in virtue of its liberty that the human will attains to grace, it is much rather by grace that it attains to liberty.
Saint Augustine
Our life is a gymnasium of desire.... When Christians say God, what do we wish to express? This word is all that we yearn for.
Saint Augustine
If God seems slow in responding, it is because He is preparing a better gift. He will not deny us. God withholds what you are not yet ready for. He wants you to have a lively desire for His greatest gifts. All of which is to say, pray always and do not lose heart.
Saint Augustine
Drunkenness is a flattering devil, a sweet poison, a pleasant sin, which whosoever hath, hath not himself, which whosoever doth commit, doth not commit sin, but he himself is wholly sin.
Saint Augustine
Within the Church, sins are forgiven in three ways: by baptism, by prayer, and by the greater humility of penance yet God does not forgive sins except to the baptized.
Saint Augustine
Before God can deliver us we must undeceive ourselves.
Saint Augustine
He pleaseth God whom God pleaseth.
Saint Augustine
Love and say it with your life.
Saint Augustine
I was in misery, and misery is the state of every soul overcome by friendship with mortal things and lacerated when they are lost. Then the soul becomes aware of the misery which is its actual condition even before it loses them.
Saint Augustine
We must be on our guard against giving interpretations which are hazardous or opposed to science, and so exposing the word of God to the ridicule of unbelievers.
Saint Augustine
The mind commands the body and is instantly obeyed. The mind commands itself and meets resistance. The mind commands the hand to move, and it so easy that one hardly distinguishes the order from its execution. Yet mind is mind and hand is body. The mind orders the mind to will. The recipient of the order is itself, yet it does not perform it.
Saint Augustine
The Old (Testament) is in the New (Testament) revealed, the New is in the Old concealed.
Saint Augustine
For where I found Truth, there found I my God, the Truth itself which since I learnt, I have not forgotten.
Saint Augustine
Who would not shudder if he were given the choice of eternal death or life again as a child ? Who would not choose to die ?
Saint Augustine
The good Christian should beware the mathematician and all those who make empty prophecies. The danger already exists that the mathematicians have made a covenant with the devil to darken the spirit and to confine man in the bonds of hell.
Saint Augustine
To my God a heart of flame To my fellow man a heart of love To myself a heart of steel.
Saint Augustine
Make me a captive Lord, then I shall be truly free.
Saint Augustine
Order your soul reduce your wants live in charity associate in Christian community obey the laws trust in Providence.
Saint Augustine
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
