More Quotes from Saint Augustine of Hippo:
Though he avoided outright endorsement of the view, fifth-century Church Father Saint Augustine was clearly familiar with the theory of the spherical earth 'They those who believe that 'there are men on the other side of the earth' fail to observe that even if the world is held to be global or rounded in shape, or if some process of reasoning should prove this to be the case, it would still not necessarily follow that the land on the opposite side is not covered by masses of water.'Saint Augustine of Hippo
God will not suffer man to have knowledge of things to come for if he had prescience of his prosperity, he would be careless and understanding of his adversity, he would be senseless.
Saint Augustine of Hippo
To wisdom belongs the intellectual apprehension of things eternal to knowledge, the rational apprehension of things temporal.
Saint Augustine of Hippo
Late have I loved Thee, O Lord and behold, Thou wast within and I without, and there I sought Thee. Thou was with me when I was not with Thee. Thou didst call, and cry, and burst my deafness. Thou didst gleam, and glow, and dispell my blindness. Thou didst touch me, and I burned for Thy peace. For Thyself Thou hast made us, and restless our hearts until in Thee they find their ease. Late have I loved Thee, Thou Beauty ever old and ever new. Thou hast burst my bonds asunder unto Thee will I offer up an offering of praise.
Saint Augustine of Hippo

Saint Augustine of Hippo
