Saint Augustine

Give me chastity and continence, but not yet.

Love, and do what you will.

The punishment of every disordered mind is its own disorder.

To many, total abstinence is easier than perfect moderation.

He who is not jealous is not in love.

The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.

It is natural for men to rule over women.

It is according to the natural order that women serve their husbands.

Woman is subject to man.

I have decided that there is nothing I should avoid so much as marriage.

Woman was not made in the image of God in the same way man was…

For pride is the beginning of sin.

The will is truly free, when it is not the slave of vices and sins.

Married second-class.

God had one son on earth without sin, but never one without suffering.

The law detects, grace alone conquers sin.

Sin is looking for the right thing in the wrong place.

He who thinks he lives without sin puts aside not sin, but pardon.

Having children is the only worthy fruit of sexual intercourse.

Sexual abstinence, to avoid lust, is rare among married partners.
