More Quotes by Augustine of Hippo
There is no saint without a past, no sinner without a future.
Oh, God, to know you is life. To serve You is freedom. To praise you is the soul's joy and delight. Guard me with the power of Your grace here and in all places. Now and at all times, forever. Amen.
Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being in love which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident.
Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a teardrop.
Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe.
He who has God has everything; he who has everything but God has nothing.
If you are silent, be silent out of love. If you speak, speak out of love.
Do you desire security? Here you have it. The Lord says to you, "I will never abandon you, I will always be with you." If a good man made you such a promise, you would trust him. God makes it, and do you doubt? Do you seek a support more sure than the word of God, which is infallible? Surely, He has made the promise, He has written it, He has pledged His word for it, it is most certain.
Beware of despairing about yourself: you are commanded to put your trust in God, and not in yourself.
Sin is believing the lie that you are self-created, self-dependent and self-sustained.
