Saint Augustine Quotes About Weakness

Quotes about: Weakness

• When God is our strength, it is strength indeed; when our strength is our own, it is only weakness.

  Saint Augustine

  Weakness

• 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.

  Saint Augustine

  Men, Practice, People

  "Confessions" by Saint Augustine, Book I, (7), (c. 397).

• O eternal truth and true love and beloved eternity! You are my God; to you I sigh by day and by night. And when I first knew you, you raised me up so that I could see that there was something to see and that I still lacked the ability to see it. And you beat back the weakness of my sight, blazing upon me with your rays, and I trembled in love and in dread.

  Saint Augustine

  Night, Sight, Rays
