Whoever is still seeking for miracles so that he may believe is himself a wonder, who does not believe while the world around him does.
Saint AugustineWhat 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 AugustineLet our lives be good, and the times are good. We make our times; such as we are, such are the times.
Saint AugustineTwo criminals were crucified with Christ. One was saved; do not despair. One was not; do not presume.
Saint AugustineIt is not earthly riches which make us or our sons happy; for they must either be lost by us in our lifetime, or be possessed when we are dead, by whom we know not, or perhaps by whom we would not.
Saint AugustineLate have I loved Thee, O Lord; and behold, Thou wast within and I without, and there I sought Thee. Thou was with me when I was not with Thee. Thou didst call, and cry, and burst my deafness. Thou didst gleam, and glow, and dispell my blindness. Thou didst touch me, and I burned for Thy peace. For Thyself Thou hast made us, and restless our hearts until in Thee they find their ease. Late have I loved Thee, Thou Beauty ever old and ever new. Thou hast burst my bonds asunder; unto Thee will I offer up an offering of praise.
