He loves Thee too little, who loves anything together with Thee, which he loves not for Thy sake.
Saint AugustineIt’s not in the book or in the writer that readers discern the truth of what they read; they see it in themselves, if the light of truth has penetrated their minds.
Saint AugustineKeep on adding, keep on walking, keep on progressing: do not delay on the road, do not go back, do not deviate.
Saint AugustineThe mind commands the body, and it obeys forthwith; the mind commands itself, and is resisted. The mind commands the hand to be moved, and such readiness is there that the command is scarce to be distinguished from the obedience. Yet the mind is mind, and the hand is body. The mind commands the mind to will, and yet, though it be itself, it obeyeth not. Whence this monstrous thing? and why is it?
Saint Augustine
