More quotes by Tertullian
If the sky stands still, if the earth quakes, if there is famine, if there is pestilence, at once the cry is raised: Throw the Christians to the lions! So many to one?
Tertullian
To forbid birth is only quicker murder.
Tertullian
For what war should we not be fit and eager, even though unequal in numbers, we who are so willing to be slaughtered-if, according to that discipline of ours, it was not more lawful to be slain than to slay?
Tertullian
If the Tiber rises too high, or the Nile too low, the remedy is always feeding Christians to the lions.
Tertullian

The blood of the Christians is seed
Tertullian
Whatever is born is the work of God. So whatever is plastered on, is the devil's work.... How unworthy of the Christian name it is to wear a fictitious face - you on whom simplicity in every form is enjoined! You, to whom lying with the tongue is not lawful, are lying in appearance.
Tertullian
The first reaction to truth is hatred.
Tertullian
[Hermogenes] despises God's law in his painting, maintains repeated marriages [almost certainly a reference to remarrying after divorce or perhaps even widowhood, which Tertullian, who became a Montanist, opposed], alleges the law of God in defense of lust [likely same reference], and yet despises it in respect of his art.
Tertullian
The state of faith allows no mention of impossibility.
Tertullian
The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church.
Tertullian
You can judge the quality of their faith from the way they behave. Discipline is an index to doctrine.
Tertullian
The soul whose bosom lust did never touch Is God's fair bride and maiden's souls are such.
Tertullian
