More Quotes from Saint Augustine of Hippo:
Of this I am certain, that no one has ever died who was not destined to die some time. Now the end of life puts the longest life on a par with the shortest.... And of what consequence is it what kind of death puts an end to life, since he who has died once is not forced to go through the same ordeal a second time They, then, who are destined to die, need not be careful to inquire what death they are to die, but into what place death will usher them.Saint Augustine of Hippo
Six is a number perfect in itself, and not because God created the world in six days rather the contrary is true. God created the world in six days because this number is perfect, and it would remain perfect, even if the work of the six days did not exist.
Saint Augustine of Hippo
Imagine the vanity of thinking that your enemy can do you more damage than your enmity.
Saint Augustine of Hippo
If bodies please thee, praise God on occasion of them, and turn back thy love upon their Maker lest in these things which please thee, thou displease. If souls please thee, be they loved in God for they too are mutable, but in Him they are firmly established.
Saint Augustine of Hippo

Saint Augustine of Hippo
Thy word remaineth for ever, which word now appeareth unto us in the riddle of the clouds, and through the mirror of the heavens, not as it is because that even we, though the well beloved of thy Son, yet it hath not yet appeared what we shall be. He looked through the lattice of our flesh and he spake us fair, yea, he set us on fire, and we hasten on his scent. But when he shall appear, then shall we be like him, for we shall see him as he is as he is, Lord, will our sight be, though the time be not yet.

Political reporters no longer get to decide what's news. The days when a minister gave briefings to a dozen lobby correspondents, and thereby dictated the next day's headlines, are over. Now, a thousand bloggers decide for themselves what is interesting. If enough of them are tickled then, bingo, you're news.
