Quotes by Saint Augustine (Augustine of Hippo) (Aurelius Augustinus) about Wish

Saint Augustine (Augustine of Hippo) (Aurelius Augustinus) Bishop

Do you wish to be great? Then begin by being. Do you desire to construct a vast and lofty fabric? Think first about the foundations of humility. The higher your structure is to be, the deeper must be its foundation.

Quote by Augustin de Hipona about wish

Do you wish to rise? Begin by descending. You plan a tower that will pierce the clouds? Lay first the foundation of humility.

Quote by Augustin de Hipona about wish

What then is time? If no one asks me, I know what it is. If I wish to explain it to him who asks, I do not know.

Quote by Augustin de Hipona about wish
