Out of love…
If you are silent, be silent out of love. If you speak, speak out of love.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
Truth is like…
The truth is like a lion. You don’t have to defend it. Let it loose. It will defend itself.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
Your thoughts shout…
For God does not hear us as humans hear. Unless you shout with your lungs and chest and lips, a mere man does not hear; whereas to God your very thoughts shout.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
Active and contemplative…
Now we are conscious of two powers in the human soul: the active and the contemplative; the former maps the way, the latter marks the journey’s end; in the former we toil so that our hearts may be purified for the vision of God, in the latter we are at rest and see God; the former calls for the practice of the commandments of this life that passes away, in the latter we drink in the teachings of the life that shall never pass away.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
If you find a God…
If you find a God you understand, You have built yourself an idol.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
Puts aside pardon…
He who thinks he lives without sin puts aside not sin, but pardon.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
