More quotes by Tertullian
It is absolutely forbidden to repay evil with evil.
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
The first reaction to truth is hatred.
Tertullian
The pleasure of those who injure you lies in your pain. Therefore they will suffer if you take away their pleasure by not feeling pain
Tertullian
The usual complaint is, 'I have no other way of earning a living.' The harsh reply can be, 'Do you have to live?'
Tertullian
Away with the one who is always seeking, for he never finds anything for he is seeking where nothing can be found. Away with the one who is always knocking, for he knocks where there is no one to open away with the one who is always asking, for he asks of one who does not hear.
Tertullian
To forbid birth is only quicker murder.

Tertullian
The Word, then, the Christ, is the cause both of our ancient beginning, for lie was in God, and of our well-being. And now this same Word has appeared as man. He alone is both God and man, and the source of all our good things
Tertullian
Fear is the foundation of safety.
Tertullian
A man becomes a Christian, he is not born one.
Tertullian
The Christian does not hurt even his enemy.
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
How many men of rank (to say nothing of common people) have been delivered from devils, and healed of diseases!
Tertullian
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
The state of faith allows no mention of impossibility.
Tertullian
The blood of the Christians is seed
Tertullian
What has Athens to do with Jerusalem.
Tertullian
The blood of Christians is seed.
