Saint Augustine

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

If you would attain to what you are not yet, you must always be displeased by what you are. For where you are pleased with yourself there you have remained. Keep adding, keep walking, keep advancing.

To wisdom belongs the intellectual apprehension of things eternal; to knowledge, the rational apprehension of things temporal.

O Lord, help me to be pure, but not yet.

...Thou madest us for Thyself, and our heart is restless, until it repose in Thee.

My love for you, Lord, is not an uncertain feeling, but a matter of concious certainty. With your word you pierced my heart, and I loved you. But heaven and earth and everything in them on all sides tell me to love you.

The world is a great book; he who never stirs from home reads only a page.

Unless you believe, you will not understand.

Conscience and reputation are two things. Conscience is due to yourself, reputation to your neighbour.

Hear the other side.
(Audi Partem Alteram)
