Wisdom from St. Augustine of Hippo

 
 
 

No man has a right to lead such a life of contemplation as to forget in his own ease the service due to his neighbor; nor has any man a right to be so immersed in active life as to neglect the contemplation of God.

—St. Augustine of Hippo

quoted in the book, Desire and Unity
