Saint Augustine - Tumblr Posts
Now wisdom will flash forth to you from her innermost throne, and from the very sanctuary of truth. If she dazzles and blinds your as yet too feeble vision, turn back the eye of the mind into that path where she showed herself joyfully; but remember then that you have put off the vision which, when you are stronger and sounder, you may seek again. -Saint Augustine, On Free Choice
The truth is like a lion; you don't have to defend it. Let it loose; it will defend itself.
