What matters it to me if someone does not understand this? Let him too rejoice and say, โWhat is this?โ Let him rejoice even at this, and let him love to find you while not finding it out, rather than, while finding it out, not to find you.
Saint AugustineWhen large numbers of people share their joy in common, the happiness of each is greater because each adds fuel to the other's flame.
Saint AugustineNarrow is the mansion of my soul; enlarge Thou it, that Thou mayest enter in. It is ruinous; repair Thou it. It has that within which must offend Thine eyes; I confess and know it. But who shall cleanse it? or to whom should I cry, save Thee? Lord, cleanse me from my secret faults, and spare Thy servant from the power of the enemy. I believe, and therefore do I speak.
