Though in the order of nature angels rank above men, yet, by scale of justice, good men are of greater value than bad angels.
Saint AugustineDo not follow any road, but that which Christ trod. This road seems hard, but it is safe.
Saint AugustineYou have enemies. For who can live on this earth without them? Take heed to yourselves: love them. In no way can your enemy so hurt you by his violence, as you hurt yourself if you love him not.
Saint AugustineAngels are spirits, but it is not because they are spirits that they are angels. They become angels when they are sent. For the name angel refers to their office, not their nature. You ask the name of this nature, it is spirit; you ask its office, it is that of an Angel, which is a messenger.
Saint Augustine
