Saint Augustine Quotes About Immortality

Quotes about: Immortality

  Saint Augustine

  Believe, Long, Healthy

  Saint Augustine

• In no passage of the holy canonical books there can be found either divine precept or permission to take away our own life, whether for the sake of entering on the enjoyment of immortality, or of shunning, or ridding ourselves of anything whatever.

This is proved especially by the omission of the words "thy neighbor," which are inserted when false witness is forbidden.

  Saint Augustine

  Suicide, Book, Suicidal
