More quotes by Tertullian
Nothing that is God's is obtainable by money

The soul whose bosom lust did never touch Is God's fair bride and maiden's souls are such.
Tertullian
Discipline is an index to doctrine.
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
Patience is God's nature.
Tertullian
