More Quotes by Augustine of Hippo
Beware of despairing about yourself: you are commanded to put your trust in God, and not in yourself.
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.
The truth is like a lion; you don’t have to defend it. Let it loose; it will defend itself.
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.
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?
He who has God has everything; he who has everything but God has nothing.
Pray as though everything depended on God. Work as though everything depended on you.
Love and say it with your life.
Remember this. When people choose to withdraw far from a fire, the fire continues to give warmth, but they grow cold. When people choose to withdraw far from light, the light continues to be bright in itself but they are in darkness. This is also the case when people withdraw from God.
