From the Confessions of Augustine:

Book I, [IV] 4. What art Thou then, my God? What, but the Lord God? For who is Lord but the Lord? or who is God save our God? Most highest, most good, most potent, most omnipotent; most merciful, yet most just; most hidden, yet most present; most beautiful, yet most strong; stable, yet incomprehensible; unchanging, yet all-changing; never new, never old; all-renewing, and bringing age upon the proud, and they know it not; ever working, ever at rest; still gathering, yet nothing lacking; supporting, filling, and overspreading; creating, nourishing, and maturing; seeking, yet having all things. Thou lovest, without passion; art jealous, without anxiety; repentest, yet grievest not; art angry, yet serene; changest Thy works, Thy purpose unchanged; receivest again what Thou findest, yet didst never lose; never in need, yet rejoicing in gains; never covetous, yet exacting usury. Thou receivest over and above, that Thou mayest owe; and owing nothing; remittest debts, losing nothing. And what have I now said, my God, my life my holy joy? or what saith an man when he speaks of Thee? Yet woe to him that speaketh not, since mute are even the most eloquent.

I really enjoy the last two sentences the most. Also, does anyone know if Augustine was Roman or African? I know he was born in Numidia, but that area was controlled or was previously controlled by Rome, correct? And, was he originally writing in Greek or Latin? Becasue he said he enjoyed learning Latin and not Greek. Anyway, it really doesn't matter at all; I was just wondering.
