Augustine Quotes in The Road to Character
Only Adam II can experience deep satisfaction. Adam I aims for happiness, but Adam II knows that happiness is insufficient. The ultimate joys are moral joys.
If you think you can organize your own salvation you are magnifying the very sin that keeps you from it. To believe that you can be captain of your own life is to suffer the sin of pride.
Knowledge is not enough for tranquility and goodness, because it doesn’t contain the motivation to be good. Only love impels action.
