All SAINT AUGUSTINE Quotes about “Life”

“It is love that asks, that seeks, that knocks, that finds, and that is faithful to what it finds.”
“I was not yet in love, yet I loved to love...I sought what I might love, in love with loving.”
“We should never use the truth to wound.”
“Of this I am certain, that no one has ever died who was not destined to die some time. Now the end of life puts the longest life on a par with the shortest. . . . And of what consequence is it what kind of death puts an end to life, since he who has died once is not forced to go through the same ordeal a second time? They, then, who are destined to die, need not be careful to inquire what death they are to die, but into what place death will usher them.”
“Once for all, then, a short precept is given thee: Love, and do what thou wilt: whether thou hold thy peace, through love hold thy peace; whether thou cry out, through love cry out; whether thou correct, through love correct; whether thou spare, through love do thou spare: let the root of love be within, of this root can nothing spring but what is good.”
“What am I then, my God? What is my nature? A life varied, multifaceted and truly immense.”
