Summary
This quote, often attributed to Saint Augustine, suggests that if we willingly embrace and comply with something or someone's authority, we will find ourselves capable of and open to undertaking any subsequent commands or actions they may ask of us. It implies that when we align ourselves with a certain belief, cause, or higher power, we gain the strength, commitment, and conviction to carry out whatever may be required of us. It reflects the idea of surrendering to a greater purpose or authority and being willing to follow its guidance without reservations or limitations.
