For, were it not good that evil things should also exist, the omnipotent God would almost certainly not allow evil to be, since beyond doubt it is just as easy for Him not to allow what He does not will, as for Him to do what He will.
Saint AugustineI have said before, and I shall say again, that I write this book for love of your love.
Saint AugustineGod has no need of your money, but the poor have. You give it to the poor, and God receives it.
Saint AugustineTemperance is love surrendering itself wholly to Him who is its object; courage is love bearing all things gladly for the sake of Him who is its object; justice is love serving only Him who is its object, and therefore rightly ruling; prudence is love making wise distinction between what hinders and what helps itself.
Saint Augustine
