More quotes by Tertullian
Patience is God's nature.

Tertullian
To forbid birth is only quicker murder.
Tertullian
Those who fled will fight another time.
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
It is a fundamental human right, a privilege of nature, that every man should worship according to his own convictions.

Prevention of birth is premature murder, and it makes no difference whether it is a life already born that one snatches away or a life that is coming to birth.
Tertullian
Daily, every moment, prayer is necessary to men.
Tertullian
I believe because it is absurd.
Tertullian
Patience ornaments the woman and proves the man.
Tertullian
He who lives only to benefit himself confers on the world a benefit when he dies.
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
