"Choose to love whomsoever thou wilt: all..." - Quote by Saint Augustine

“Men go forth to marvel at the height of mountains, and the huge waves of the sea, the broad flow of the rivers, the vastness of the ocean, the orbits of the stars, and yet they neglect to marvel at themselves. Variant: Men go abroad to admire the heights of mountains, the mighty billows of the sea, the broad tides of rivers, the compass of the ocean, and the circuits of the stars, and pass themselves by.”

“The good man, though a slave, is free; the wicked, though he reigns, is a slave.”

“What then, is correctness of speech but the maintenance of the practice of others, as established by the authority of ancient speakers? But the weaker men are, the more they are troubled by such matters. Their weakness stems from a desire to appear learned, not with a knowledge of things, by which we are edified, but with a knowledge of signs, by which it is difficult not to be puffed up in some way; even a knowledge of things often makes people boastful, unless their necks are held down by the Lord's yoke.”

“You know my faithfulness to you, never can another own my heart, never - never - never...”

“She is not perfect. You are not perfect. The question is whether or not you are perfect for each other”

“Whatever I do is out of love.”

“Sleep takes off the costume of circumstance, arms us with terrible freedom, so that every will rushes to a deed.”

“Freedom to learn is the first necessity of guaranteeing that man himself shall be self reliant enough to be free.”

“Love, joy, and peace cannot flourish until you have freed yourself from mind dominance.”
