More Quotes by Augustine of Hippo
Pray as though everything depended on God. Work as though everything depended on you.

Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being in love which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident.
There is no love without hope, no hope without love, and neither hope nor love without faith.
Seek not to understand that you may believe, but believe that you may understand.
Beware of despairing about yourself: you are commanded to put your trust in God, and not in yourself.
Peace in society depends upon peace in the family.
