The phrase "Love God, and do as you please" is attributed to St. Augustine of Hippo, an early Christian theologian and philosopher.
The full context of his statement, found in his work Homilies on the First Epistle of John (Tract 7, §8), clarifies its meaning:
"Love, and do what you will. If you are silent, be silent with love; if you speak, speak with love; if you correct, correct with love; if you pardon, pardon with love. Let love be rooted in you, and from this root, nothing but good can grow."
St. Augustine's point was that genuine love for God and others guides one's actions, ensuring that they align with what is good and right. It emphasizes love as the foundation of moral behavior.
