More Quotes by Augustine of Hippo
Sin is believing the lie that you are self-created, self-dependent and self-sustained.
Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe.
The measure of love is to love without measuring.
God loves each of us as if there were only one of us.

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.
The truth is like a lion; you don’t have to defend it. Let it loose; it will defend itself.
To withhold forgiveness is to take poison and expect the unforgiven to die.
Christ is not valued at all, unless he is valued above all.
