Saint Augustine Quotes:
Ocupation: Saint
Life: November 13, 354 - August 28, 430
Birthday: November 13
Death: August 28
Fasting cleanses the soul, raises the mind, subjects one’s flesh to the spirit, renders the heart contrite and humble, scatters the clouds of concupiscence, quenches the fire of lust, and kindles the true light of chastity.
