More Quotes by Augustine of Hippo
Peace in society depends upon peace in the family.
To fall in love with God is the greatest romance; to seek him the greatest adventure; to find him, the greatest human achievement.
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?
If you are suffering from a bad man's injustice, forgive him lest there be two bad men.
Lord, teach me to know you, and to know myself.
Pray as though everything depended on God. Work as though everything depended on you.
A Christian is: a mind through which Christ thinks, a heart through which Christ loves, a voice through which Christ speaks, and a hand through which Christ helps.
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.
To withhold forgiveness is to take poison and expect the unforgiven to die.
Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a teardrop.
