More from Augustine of Hippo

  1. The World is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.
  2. This is the very perfection of a man, to find out his own imperfections.
  3. The words printed here are concepts. You must go through the experiences.
  4. Thou must be emptied of that wherewith thou art full, that thou mayest be filled with that whereof thou art empty.
  5. The purpose of all wars, is peace.
  6. To abstain from sin when one can no longer sin is to be forsaken by sin, not to forsake it.
  7. The people who remained victorious were less like conquerors than conquered.
  8. To wisdom belongs the intellectual apprehension of things eternal; to knowledge, the rational apprehension of things temporal.
