Additional quotes by Augustine of Hippo

la mesure de l'amour c'est d'aimer sans mesure

To what place can I invite you, then, since I am in you? Or where could you come from, in order to come into me? To what place outside heaven and earth could I travel, so that my God could come to me there, the God who said, I fill heaven and Earth?

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