There are still preserved among Christians traces of that Holy Spirit that appeared in the form of a dove. They expel evil spirits, perform many cures, and foresee certain events.

More quotes by Tertullian
See how these Christians love one another.
Tertullian
Indeed heresies are themselves instigated by philosophy
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
[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
For those women sin against God when they rub their skin with ointments, stain their cheeks with rouge, and make their eyes prominent with antimony. To them, I suppose, the artistic skill of God is displeasing!
Tertullian
The blood of Christians is seed.
Tertullian
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
The first reaction to truth is hatred.
Tertullian
How many men of rank (to say nothing of common people) have been delivered from devils, and healed of diseases!
Tertullian
A man becomes a Christian, he is not born one.
Tertullian
Men remain in ignorance as long as they hate, and they hate unjustly as long as they remain in ignorance.
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
Nothing that is God's is obtainable by money
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
It is absolutely forbidden to repay evil with evil.
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
Daily, every moment, prayer is necessary to men.
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 Lord challenges us to suffer persecutions and to confess Him. He wants thiose who belong to him to be brave and fearless. He himself shows how weakness of the flesh is overcome by courage of the Spirit....A christian is fearless.
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
