Image
A man becomes a Christian, he is not born one.
Tertullian
Image
The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church.
Tertullian
Image
The Son of God died it is by all means to be believed because it is absurd. And he was buried and rose again the fact is certain, because it is impossible.
Tertullian
Image
Fear is the foundation of safety.
Tertullian
Image
Let women paint their eyes with tints of chastity, insert into their ears the word of God, tie the yoke of Christ around their necks, and adorn their whole persons with the silk of sanctity and the damask of devotion.
Tertullian
Image
Illustrious confessors of Jesus Christ, a Christian finds in prison the same joys as the prophets tasted in the desert. Call it not a dungeon, but a solitude. When the soul is in heaven, the body feels not the weight of fetters it carries the whole man along with it.
Tertullian
Image
I believe BECAUSE it's impossible.
Tertullian
Image
Prevention of birth is premature murder, and it makes no difference whether it is a life already born that one snatches away or a life that is coming to birth.
Tertullian

Nothing that is God's is obtainable by money
Tertullian

Tertullian
Image
Discipline is an index to doctrine.
Tertullian

The first reaction to truth is hatred.
Tertullian
Image
Daily, every moment, prayer is necessary to men.
Tertullian
Image
We say, and we say openly, and while ye torture us, mangled and gory we cry out, We worship God through Christ! Believe Him a man: it is through Him and in Him that God willeth Himself to be known and worshipped.
Tertullian
Image
Thus the connection of the Father in the Son, and of the Son in the Paraclete, produces three coherent Persons, who are yet distinct One from Another. These three are one [thing], not one [Person], as it is said, 'I and my Father are One,' in respect of unity of substance not singularity of number.
Tertullian
Image
Truth persuades by teaching, but does not teach by persuading.
Tertullian
Image
Let women paint their eyes with tints of chastity.
Tertullian
Image
Now then, you dogs, whom the apostle puts outside and who yelp at the God of truth, let us come to your various questions.
Tertullian
Image
The state of faith allows no mention of impossibility.
Tertullian
