Augustine of Hippo: Be displeased with what thou art, if thou desirest to attain to what thou art…

Be displeased with what thou art, if thou desirest to attain to what thou art not; for where thou hast pleased thyself, there thou abidest, and if thou sayest I have enough, thou perishest.

In today’s wordsBe dissatisfied with what you are if you want to become what you aren't yet; wherever you've pleased yourself, there you stay, and if you say 'I have enough,' you perish.
