Augustine of Hippo354–430Pray as though everything depended on God. Work as though everything depended on you.
God is more truly imagined than expressed, and He exists more truly than He is imagined.
- X, 27, as translated in Theology and Discovery: Essays in honor of Karl Rahner, S.J. (1980) edited by William J. Kelly
God judged it better to bring good out of evil than to suffer no evil to exist.
Enchiridion (c. 420 ), Ch. 27
