More Quotes by Augustine of Hippo
Trust the past to the mercy of God, the present to His love, and the future to His providence.
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.
Therefore once for all this short command is given to you. 'Love and do what you will.' If you keep silent, keep silent by love; if you speak, speak by love; if you correct, correct by love; if you pardon, pardon by love: let love be rooted in you, and from the root nothing but good can grow.
The greatest kindness one can render to any man is leading him to truth.
God provides the wind, Man must raise the sail.
It is no advantage to be near the light if the eyes are closed.
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.
If God is, why is there evil? But if God is not, why is there good?
God has promised forgiveness to your repentance, but He has not promised tomorrow to your procrastination.
Pray as though everything depended on God. Work as though everything depended on you.
