O Vosso servo mais fiel é aquele que não espera nem prefere ouvir aquilo que quer, mas se propõe a aceitar, antes de tudo, a resposta que de Vós ouvis.
Augustine of HippoStichwörter: confissões
São terríveis os Vossos Juízos, Senhor, pois a Vossa Verdade não é minha nem de qualquer outro, mas de todos nós, a quem manifestadamente convidais a participar dela. Vós nos admoestais reverissimamente a quem não queiramos tê-la como bem privado, para que não nos privemos dela. Efetivamente, quem revindica só para si próprio aquilo que ofereceis para o gozo de todos, querendo como particular o que é de todos, é repelido desses bens comuns para os seus, isto é, da verdade para a mentira. 'Com efeito, quem fala de si próprio mente'.

Augustine of HippoFaith will falter if the authority of holy scripture is shaken; and if faith falters, love itself decays. For if someone lapses in his faith, he inevitably lapses in his love as well, since he cannot love what he does not believe to be true.
Augustine of HippoA person who is a good and true Christian should realize that truth belongs to his Lord, wherever it is found, gathering and acknowledging it even in pagan literature, but rejecting superstitious vanities and deploring and avoiding those who 'though they knew God did not glorify him as God or give thanks but became enfeebled in their own thoughts and plunged their senseless minds into darkness. Claiming to be wise they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for the image of corruptible mortals and animals and reptiles' [Rom. 1:21-3]
