God, grant us men to see in a small thing principles which are common things both small and great.
Deus, dona hominibus videre in parvo communes notitias rerum parvarum atque magnarum.
Original text (Latin)
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.
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."
