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
Daily, every moment, prayer is necessary to men.
Tertullian
The first reaction to truth is hatred.
Tertullian
To forbid birth is only quicker murder.
Tertullian
Men remain in ignorance as long as they hate, and they hate unjustly as long as they remain in ignorance.
Tertullian
Those who fled will fight another time.
Tertullian
The blood of the Christians is seed
Tertullian
