Disturbers are to be rebuked, the low spirited to be encouraged, the infirm to be supported, objectors confuted, the treacherous guarded against, the unskilled taught, the lazy aroused, the contentious restrained, the haughty repressed, the poor relieved, the oppressed liberated, the good approved, the evil borne with, and all are to be loved!
Saint AugustineI do not comprehend all that I am. Is the mind, therefore, too limited to possess itself?
Saint AugustineIn failing to confess, Lord, I would only hide You from myself, not myself from You.
Saint AugustineThe wicked have told me of things that delight them, but not such things as your law has to tell.
Saint AugustineNow, may our God be our hope. He Who made all things is better than all things. He Who made all beautiful things is more beautiful than all of them. He Who made all mighty things is more mighty than all of them. He Who made all great things is greater than all of them. Learn to love the Creator in His creature, and the maker in what He has made.
Saint Augustine
