Quotable Augustine

This collection of Augustine citations is divided according to subject matter-theology, creation, virtue, labor, and learning. It tells us where each selected item is found in Augustine’s works. Like Aristotle before him and Aquinas after him, Augustine’s works are almost always presented in manageable subsections. He invites us slowly to reflect on what he tells us. Often Augustine needs to be read again and again … The reader, I think, even the casual one, will find in these quotations from Augustine much for reflection.
