More Quotes by Augustine of Hippo
Patience is the companion of wisdom.
Seek not to understand that you may believe, but believe that you may understand.
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.
Since love grows within you, so beauty grows. For love is the beauty of the soul.
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.
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 has promised forgiveness to your repentance, but He has not promised tomorrow to your procrastination.
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.
It is no advantage to be near the light if the eyes are closed.
Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a teardrop.
