Quote by Augustine
“Allí solos conversábamos dulcísimamente; y olvidando las cosas pasadas, ocupados en lo por venir, nos preguntábamos los dos, delante de la verdad presente, que eres tú, cuál sería la vida eterna de los santos, que ni el ojo vio, ni el oído oyó, ni el corazón del hombre concibió. Abríamos anhelosos la boca de nuestro corazón hacia aquellos raudales soberanos de tu fuente –de la fuente de vida que está en ti– para que, rociados según nuestra capacidad, nos formásemos de algún modo una idea de algo tan grande.”

Aurelius Augustinus - more commonly "St. Augustine of Hippo," or simply "Augustine" - was a philosopher and theologian, and one of the most important figures in the development of Western Christianity. He framed the concepts of original sin and just war. Augustine was one of the most prolific Latin authors in terms of surviving works, and the list of his works consists of more than a hundred separate titles.
Augustine took the view that the Biblical text should not be interpreted literally if it contradicts what we know from science and our God-given reason. Many Protestants, especially Calvinists, consider him to be one of the theological fathers of Reformation teaching on salvation and divine grace.
