The state of faith allows no mention of impossibility.
Tertullian
The blood of the Christians is seed
Tertullian
The Christian does not hurt even his enemy.

He who lives only to benefit himself confers on the world a benefit when he dies.
Tertullian
Truth persuades by teaching, but does not teach by persuading.
Tertullian
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
The nature of rumor is well known to all. It was your own poet who said: 'Rumor, an evil surpassing all evils in speed.'
Tertullian
The soul whose bosom lust did never touch Is God's fair bride and maiden's souls are such.
Tertullian
What has Athens to do with Jerusalem.
Tertullian
It is a fundamental human right, a privilege of nature, that every man should worship according to his own convictions. One man's religion neither harms nor helps another man. It is assuredly no part of religion to compel religion, to which free will and not force should lead us.
Tertullian
Against Him those women sin who torment their skin with potions, stain their cheeks with rouge and extend the line of their eyes with black coloring. Doubtless they are dissatisfied with God's plastic skill. In their own persons they convict and censure the Artificer of all things.
Tertullian
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
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
Away with the one who is always seeking, for he never finds anything for he is seeking where nothing can be found. Away with the one who is always knocking, for he knocks where there is no one to open away with the one who is always asking, for he asks of one who does not hear.
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
See how these Christians love one another.
Tertullian
Now we allow that life begins with conception, because we contend that the soul also begins from conception life taking its commencement at the same moment and place that the soul does.
Tertullian
