Hear, O God. Alas, for man's sin! So saith man, and Thou pitiest him; for Thou madest him, but sin is in him Thou madest not. Who remindeth me of the sins of my infancy? for in Thy sight none is pure from sin, not even the infant whose life is but a day upon the earth.
Saint AugustineTo fall in love with God is the greatest romance; to seek him the greatest adventure; to find him, the greatest human achievement.
Saint AugustineI found thee not, O Lord, without, because I erred in seeking thee without that wert within.
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
