Order your soul; reduce your wants; live in charity; associate in Christian community; obey the laws; trust in Providence.
Saint AugustineI fell away from you, my God, and I went astray, too far astray from you, the support of my youth, and I became to myself a land of want.
Saint AugustineMen are always ready to nose around and find out about other's lives, but they feel lazy to know themselves and correct their own life.
Saint AugustineMan's maker was made man that He, Ruler of the stars, might nurse at His mother's breast; that the Bread might hunger, the Fountain thirst, the Light sleep, the Way be tired on its journey; that Truth might be accused of false witnesses, the Teacher be beaten with whips, the Foundation be suspended on wood; that Strength might grow weak; that the Healer might be wounded; that Life might die.
