More Quotes by Augustine of Hippo
Because God has made us for Himself, our hearts are restless until they rest in Him.
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.
Patience is the companion of wisdom.
God of our life, there are days when the burdens we carry chafe our shoulders and weigh us down; when the road seems dreary and endless, the skies gray and threatening; when our lives have no music in them, and our hearts are lonely, and our souls have lost their courage. Flood the path with light, run our eyes to where the skies are full of promise; tune our hearts to brave music; give us the sense of comradeship with heroes and saints of every age; and so quicken our spirits that we may be able to encourage the souls of all who journey with us on the road of life, to your honor and glory.
God loves each of us as if there were only one of us.
Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a teardrop.
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.
If you believe what you like in the gospels, and reject what you don't like, it is not the gospel you believe, but yourself.
Lord, teach me to know you, and to know myself.
Seek not to understand that you may believe, but believe that you may understand.
