Saint Augustine

Famous quotes containing the words saint and/or augustine:

    A saint addicted to excessive self-abnegation is a dangerous associate; he may infect you with poverty, and a stiffening of those joints which are needed for advancement—in a word, with more renunciation than you care for—and so you flee the contagion.
    Victor Hugo (1802–1885)

    Understanding is the wages of faith.
    —St. Augustine (354–430)
