Saint Augustine

Famous quotes containing the words saint and/or augustine:

    This Light inspires, and plays upon
    The nose of Saint like Bag-pipe drone,
    And speaks through hollow empty Soul,
    As through a Trunk, or whisp’ring hole,
    Such language as no mortal Ear
    But spiritual Eve-droppers can hear.
    Samuel Butler (1612–1680)

    If we did not have rational souls, we would not be able to believe.
    —St. Augustine (354–430)
