The honors of this world, what are they but puff, and emptiness, and peril of falling?
Saint AugustineMiracles are not contrary to nature, but only contrary to what we know about nature.
Saint AugustineLord Jesus, don't let me lie when I say that I love you.....and protect me, for today I could betray you.
Saint AugustineIf you should ask me what are the ways of God, I would tell you that the first is humility, the second is humility, and the third is humility. Not that there are no other precepts to give, but if humility does not preceed all that we do, our efforts are fruitless.
Saint AugustineIn all trouble you should seek God. You should not set Him over against your troubles, but within them. God can only relieve your troubles if you in your anxiety cling to Him. Trouble should not really be thought of as this thing or that in particular, for our whole life on earth involves trouble; and through the troubles of our earthly pilgrimage we find God.
