More Quotes by Augustine of Hippo
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?
Love and say it with your life.
Beware of despairing about yourself: you are commanded to put your trust in God, and not in yourself.
It is no advantage to be near the light if the eyes are closed.
In order to discover the character of people we have only to observe what they love.
Patience is the companion of wisdom.
There is no love without hope, no hope without love, and neither hope nor love without faith.
Sin is believing the lie that you are self-created, self-dependent and self-sustained.
Christ is not valued at all, unless he is valued above all.
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.
