God is more truly imagined than expressed, and He exists more truly than He is imagined.
Saint AugustineIf there is something more excellent than the truth, then that is God; if not, then truth itself is God.
Saint AugustineDo you wish to rise? Begin by descending. You plan a tower that will pierce the clouds? Lay first the foundation of humility.
Saint AugustineYour first task is to be dissatisfied with yourself, fight sin, and transform yourself into something better. Your second task is to put up with the trials and temptations of this world that will be brought on by the change in your life and to persevere to the very end in the midst of these things.
Saint Augustine
