Saint Augustine

In doing what we ought we deserve no praise, because it is our duty.

Beauty is indeed a good gift of God; but that the good may not think it a great good, God dispenses it even to the wicked.

This is the very perfection of a man, to find out his own imperfections.

Don't you believe that there is in man a deep so profound as to be hidden even to him in whom it is?

He who created us without our help will not save us without our consent.

Since you cannot do good to all, you are to pay special attention to those who, by the accidents of time, or place, or circumstances, are brought into closer connection with you.

The greatest evil is physical pain.

Seek not to understand that you may believe, but believe that you may understand.

God had one son on earth without sin, but never one without suffering.

Thou hast created us for Thyself, and our heart is not quiet until it rests in Thee.

O Holy Spirit, descend plentifully into my heart. Enlighten the dark corners of this neglected dwelling and scatter there Thy cheerful beams.

Forgiveness is the remission of sins. For it is by this that what has been lost, and was found, is saved from being lost again.

He that is jealous is not in love.
