More Quotes by Augustine of Hippo
If you are suffering from a bad man's injustice, forgive him lest there be two bad men.
Since you cannot do good to all, you are to pay special attention to those who, by the accidents of time, or place, or circumstances, are brought into closer connection with you.
He who has God has everything; he who has everything but God has nothing.
The measure of love is to love without measuring.
It was pride that changed angels into devils; it is humility that makes men as angels.
Do what you can and pray for what you cannot yet do.
Seek not to understand that you may believe, but believe that you may understand.
There is no saint without a past, no sinner without a future.
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.
The truth is like a lion; you don’t have to defend it. Let it loose; it will defend itself.
