Augustine

There is a joy which is not given to the ungodly, but to those who love Thee for Thine own sake, whose joy Thou Thyself art.  And this is the happy life, to rejoice to Thee, of Thee, for Thee; this it is, and there is no other.

What else can save us but your hand remaking what you have made.

The Holy Scriptures are our letters from home.

THE TEARS ... streamed down, and I let them flow as freely as they would, making of them a pillow for my heart. On them it rested.

Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe.

In the Old Testament the New is concealed; in the New the Old is revealed.

You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it rests in you.

Late have I loved you, beauty so old and so new: late have I loved you.

Give what you command, and command what you will.

Just as they who looked on that serpent perished not by the serpent's bites, so they who look in faith on Christ's death are healed from the bites of sins.

Understanding is the reward of faith. Therefore seek not to understand that thou mayest believe, but believe that thou mayest understand.

Thou awakest us to delight in Thy praise; for Thou madest us for Thyself, and our heart is restless, until it repose in Thee.

The law was therefore given, in order that grace might be sought; grace was given, in order that the law might be fulfilled.
