More Quotes by Augustine of Hippo
It was pride that changed angels into devils; it is humility that makes men as angels.
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.
Seek not to understand that you may believe, but believe that you may understand.
Beware of despairing about yourself: you are commanded to put your trust in God, and not in yourself.
God provides the wind, Man must raise the sail.
Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a teardrop.
The Holy Scriptures are our letters from home.
Love and say it with your life.
Trust the past to the mercy of God, the present to His love, and the future to His providence.
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.
