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?

More Quotes by Augustine of Hippo
God provides the wind, Man must raise the sail.
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.
He who has God has everything; he who has everything but God has nothing.
Since love grows within you, so beauty grows. For love is the beauty of the soul.
Patience is the companion of wisdom.
Trust the past to the mercy of God, the present to His love, and the future to His providence.
There is no saint without a past, no sinner without a future.
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.
Seek not to understand that you may believe, but believe that you may understand.
The measure of love is to love without measuring.
