Additional quotes by Augustine of Hippo

So anyone who thinks that he has understood the divine scriptures or any part of them, but cannot by his understanding build up this double love of God and neighbor, has not yet succeeded in understanding them.

Where your pleasure is, there is your treasure: where your treasure, there your heart; where your heart, there your happiness

a thing is good and pleasant only because it is connected to Him. Use it apart from its Source, and it will come to taste bitter. Since the good thing is His, how can it remain worth loving if you forsake Him to get it?

"Cantare amantis est ... Singing belongs to one who loves." (s. 336, 1 – PL 38, 1472). - Augustine of Hippo
