We are the times: Such as we are, such are the times.

St. Augustine, a prominent Church Father, is known for his profound theological insights and philosophical reflections. Some of his most memorable quotes include: “Faith is to believe what you do not yet see; the reward for this faith is to see what you believe,” and “The world is a book.” Other notable quotes explore themes of love, humility, and the human condition. 

Here are a few more St. Augustine quotes:

  • “God loves each of us as if there were only one of us.” 
  • “Love, and do what you like.”
  • “Pray as though everything depended on God. Work as though everything depended on you.” 
  • “The confession of evil works is the first beginning of good works.” 
  • “For you made us for yourself, and our hearts are restless until they find their rest in you.” 
  • “Right is right even if no one is doing it; wrong is wrong even if everyone is doing it.” 
  • “There is no saint without a past, no sinner without a future.” 
  • “God had one son on earth without sin, but never one without suffering.” 
  • “It was pride that changed angels into devils; it is humility that makes men as angels.”
