Augustine of Hippo, Confessions
"نشتعل، وبمنحتك نُوقَد؛ ونُحمَل صُعُدًا؛ ونتوهج في دواخلنا، ونسير قُدُمًا. نرتقي دروبك الكامنة في أفئدتنا، ونُنشِد ترنيمة المصاعد؛ تتوهج أرواحنا بنارك، بنارك الخيرة، ونمضي؛ لأننا نصعد إلى سلام أورشليم: فَرِحْتُ بالقائلين لي: إلى بيت الرب نذهب. هناك أرستنا مشيئتك الطيبة، فلا نبتغي شيئًا سواها، سوى المقام فيها أبدًا."

"We are inflamed, by Thy Gift we are kindled; and are carried upwards; we glow inwardly, and go forwards. We ascend Thy ways that be in our heart, and sing a song of degrees; we glow inwardly with Thy fire, with Thy good fire, and we go; because we go upwards to the peace of Jerusalem: for gladdened was I in those who said unto me, We will go up to the house of the Lord. There hath Thy good pleasure placed us, that we may desire nothing else, but to abide there for ever."

Augustine of Hippo, Confessions
"There is no health in those who are displeased by an element in Your creation, just as there was none in me when I was displeased by many things You had made. Because my soul didn't dare to say that my God displeased me, it refused to attribute to You whatever was displeasing."
"تلك النفوس التي تتبرم من عنصر في خلقك لا صحة فيها، تمامًا كما لم تكن فيّ صحة حين تبرمت من أشياء كثيرة صنعتها أنت. ولأن روحي لم تجرؤ على القول بأن إلهي أزعجني، فقد أبت أن تنسب إليك كل ما كان مزعجًا."
Augustine of Hippo, Confessions
"Idling of our elders is called business; the idling of boys, though quite like it, is punished by those same elders, and no one pities either the boys or the men."
"يُسمى تباطؤ شيوخنا "عملاً"؛ أما تباطؤ الصبية، وإن كان شبيهاً به تماماً، فيُعاقب عليه أولئك الشيوخ أنفسهم، ولا يرثي أحدٌ لا للصبية ولا للرجال."
Augustine of Hippo, Confessions

Augustine of Hippo, Confessions
"Narrow is the mansion of my soul; enlarge Thou it, that Thou mayest enter in. It is ruinous; repair Thou it. It has that within which must offend Thine eyes; I confess and know it. But who shall cleanse it? or to whom should I cry, save Thee? Lord, cleanse me from my secret faults, and spare Thy servant from the power of the enemy. I believe, and therefore do I speak."
"ضيق هو قصر روحي؛ فوسّعه أنت لتدخله. إنه خراب؛ فأصلحه أنت. فيه ما لا بد أن يؤذي عينيك؛ أعترف بذلك وأعلمه. ولكن من يطهّره؟ أو إلى من أصرخ سواك؟ يا رب، طهّرني من خطاياي الخفية، واحفظ عبدك من سلطان العدو. إني أؤمن، ولذلك أتكلم."
Augustine of Hippo, Confessions
"I was in misery, and misery is the state of every soul overcome by friendship with mortal things and lacerated when they are lost. Then the soul becomes aware of the misery which is its actual condition even before it loses them."
"كنتُ في شقاءٍ، والشقاءُ هو حالُ كلِّ نفسٍ استولت عليها مودةُ الفانياتِ وتمزَّقتْ عندَ زوالِها. وحينئذٍ تدركُ النفسُ الشقاءَ الذي هو حقيقتُها حتى قبلَ أن تفقدَها."
Augustine of Hippo, Confessions
"The punishment of every disordered mind is its own disorder."

"A sense of Deity is inscribed on every heart. Nay, even idolatry is ample evidence of this fact."
"إن الإحساس بالألوهية منقوش في كل قلب. بل إن عبادة الأوثان نفسها لدليل كافٍ على هذه الحقيقة."
Augustine of Hippo, Confessions
"You never go away from us, yet we have difficulty in returning to You. Come, Lord, stir us up and call us back. Kindle and seize us. Be our fire and our sweetness. Let us love. Let us run."
"أنت لا تغيب عنا أبدًا، ومع ذلك نجد صعوبة في العودة إليك. تعالَ يا رب، أيقظنا وادعُنا للرجوع. أشعلنا واملك علينا. كن نارنا وحلاوتنا. دعنا نحب. دعنا نركض."
Augustine of Hippo, Confessions
"Often the contempt of vainglory becomes a source of even more vainglory, for it is not being scorned when the contempt is something one is proud of."
"غالبًا ما يصبح احتقار الغرور مصدرًا لغرور أشد، لأن الغرور لا يُحتقر حقًا عندما يكون الاحتقار نفسه مدعاة للفخر."
Augustine of Hippo, Confessions
"He was not utterly unskilled in handling his own lack of training, and he refused to be rashly drawn into a controversy about those matters from which there would be no exit nor easy way of retreat. This was an additional ground for my pleasure. For the controlled modesty of a mind that admits limitations is more beautiful than the things I was anxious to know about."
Augustine of Hippo, Confessions

Augustine of Hippo, Confessions
"The mind commands the body and is instantly obeyed. The mind commands itself and meets resistance. The mind commands the hand to move, and it so easy that one hardly distinguishes the order from its execution. Yet mind is mind and hand is body. The mind orders the mind to will. The recipient of the order is itself, yet it does not perform it."
Augustine of Hippo, Confessions
