Additional quotes by Augustine of Hippo

Late have I loved you, Beauty so very ancient and so ever new. Late I have loved you! You were within, but I was without.

Let the Lord your God be your hope – seek for nothing else from him, but let him himself be your hope. There are people who hope from him riches or perishable and transitory honours, in short they hope to get from God things which are not God himself.

Deus, dona hominibus videre in parvo communes notitias rerum parvarum atque magnarum.

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