Saint Augustine

Saint Augustine
What difference, if you are mistaken? For if I am mistaken, I am. For he who is not, assuredly cannot be mistaken and therefore I am, if I am mistaken. Therefore because I am if I am mistaken, how am I mistaken that I am, when it is sure that I am, if I am mistaken.
Saint Augustine

Saint Augustine
