More quotes by Augustine of Hippo

Inasmuch as love grows in you, in so much beauty grows; for love is itself the beauty of the soul.

Choose to love whomsoever thou wilt: all else will follow.

Will is to grace as the horse is to the rider.

It is love that asks, that seeks, that knocks, that finds, and that is faithful to what it finds.

What, then, does He say? "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."
