Saint Augustine
The greatest evil is physical pain.
Saint Augustine
A temptation arises: it is the wind. It disturbs you: it is the surging of the seas. This is the time to awaken Christ and let Him remind you of these words
Saint Augustine
It is the function of perfection to make one know one's imperfection.
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
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
I do not comprehend all that I am. Is the mind, therefore, too limited to possess itself?
Saint Augustine
I have learnt to love you late, Beauty at once so ancient and so new!
Saint Augustine
