Augustine of Hippo

The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.

To fall in love with God is the greatest romance; to seek him the greatest adventure; to find him, the greatest human achievement.

Right is right even if no one is doing it; wrong is wrong even if everyone is doing it.

Hope has two beautiful daughters; their names are Anger and Courage. Anger at the way things are, and Courage to see that they do not remain as they are.

There is no saint without a past, no sinner without a future.

And men go abroad to admire the heights of mountains, the mighty waves of the sea, the broad tides of rivers, the compass of the ocean, and the circuits of the stars, yet pass over the mystery of themselves without a thought.

The measure of love is to love without measure.

In order to discover the character of people we have only to observe what they love.

Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a teardrop.

Miracles are not contrary to nature but only contrary to what we know about nature.

Patience is the companion of wisdom.
