Additional quotes by Augustine of Hippo

People travel to wonder
at the height of the mountains,
at the huge waves of the seas,
at the long course of the rivers,
at the vast compass of the ocean,
at the circular motion of the stars,
and yet they pass by themselves
without wondering.

Without God, we cannot. Without us, God will not.

Sin is looking for the right thing in the wrong place.

The mind commands the body and is instantly obeyed. The mind commands itself and meets resistance. - Augustine of Hippo
