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.

More quotes by Tertullian
Nothing that is God's is obtainable by money
Tertullian
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
It is a fundamental human right, a privilege of nature, that every man should worship according to his own convictions.
Tertullian
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
Let women paint their eyes with tints of chastity.
Tertullian
Daily, every moment, prayer is necessary to men.
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
Those who fled will fight another time.
Tertullian
A man becomes a Christian, he is not born one.
Tertullian
What has Athens to do with Jerusalem.
Tertullian
If the Tiber rises too high, or the Nile too low, the remedy is always feeding Christians to the lions.
Tertullian
Where our work is, there let our joy be.
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 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
To forbid birth is only quicker murder.
Tertullian
He who lives only to benefit himself confers on the world a benefit when he dies.
Tertullian
Out of the frying pan, into the fire.
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
The angels as the guardians of men are set over men as instructors and monitors. This shows the relationship that is to exist between them. Man's attitude is to be one of obedience and subjection. He is to follow the lead of the angels, and consequently some reverence is already implied in the very relationship that exists between man and angel.
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
