More Quotes by Augustine of Hippo
Take care of your body as if you were going to live forever; and take care of your soul as if you were going to die tomorrow.
Trust the past to the mercy of God, the present to His love, and the future to His providence.
God provides the wind, Man must raise the sail.
Beware of despairing about yourself: you are commanded to put your trust in God, and not in yourself.
Lord, teach me to know you, and to know myself.
The measure of love is to love without measuring.
If you are suffering from a bad man's injustice, forgive him lest there be two bad men.
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.
Since love grows within you, so beauty grows. For love is the beauty of the soul.
Do what you can and pray for what you cannot yet do.
