I think what Augustine is saying here is that if you truly love God everything you want ("incline") to do will be to his glory; if I loved God I could not (as Paul says) "go on sinning" for that would brake the heart of the one I loved. Or that's how it seems to me anyway. (Thank-you, good comment!)

Interesting...Does he have any views on Paul's thoughts in Romans (6:1-2)?
But I do like the quote!

Most interisting. I like it though.
