If you should ask me what is the way of God, I would tell you that it is humility. Not that there are no other precepts to give, but if humility does not precede all that we do, our efforts are fruitless.
+St. Augustine
Humility contains all things because in this virtue is truth; therefore God must also dwell therein, since He is the truth.
+St. Augustine
Where I found truth, there found I my God, who is the truth itself.
+St. Augustine
The humble realize that of themselves they are nothing, and that they stand in extreme need of help and grace of heaven; but the proud are convinced that they are full of grace and virtue. That is why God takes pleasure in showering His gifts on the former and in depriving the latter of His bounty.
+St. Augustine
Pride does its own will; humility does the will of God.
+Saint Augustine
Love, and He will draw near; love, and He will dwell within you.
+St. Augustine
He who is filled with love is filled with God Himself.
+St. Augustine
I will not live an instant that I do not live in love. Whoever loves does all things without suffering, or, suffering, loves his suffering.
+St. Augustine
