Augustine of Hippo Quotes

Habit, if not resisted, soon becomes necessity.

The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.

Better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all.

I want my friend to miss me as long as I miss him.

Patience is the companion of wisdom.

I became evil for no reason. I had no motive for my wickedness except wickedness itself. It was foul, and I loved it. I loved the self-destruction, I loved my fall, not the object for which I had fallen but my fall itself. My depraved soul leaped down from your firmament to ruin. I was seeking not to gain anything by shameful means, but shame for its own sake.
