More quotes by 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
Patience is God's nature.
Tertullian
He who lives only to benefit himself confers on the world a benefit when he dies.
Tertullian
A man becomes a Christian, he is not born one.
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
It is a fundamental human right, a privilege of nature, that every man should worship according to his own convictions. One man's religion neither harms nor helps another man. It is assuredly no part of religion to compel religion, to which free will and not force should lead us.
Tertullian
To forbid birth is only quicker murder.

Tertullian
Whatever is born is the work of God. So whatever is plastered on, is the devil's work.... How unworthy of the Christian name it is to wear a fictitious face - you on whom simplicity in every form is enjoined! You, to whom lying with the tongue is not lawful, are lying in appearance.
Tertullian
Those who fled will fight another time.
Tertullian
You can judge the quality of their faith from the way they behave. Discipline is an index to doctrine.
Tertullian
Truth persuades by teaching, but does not teach by persuading.
Tertullian
There are still preserved among Christians traces of that Holy Spirit that appeared in the form of a dove. They expel evil spirits, perform many cures, and foresee certain events.
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
See how these Christians love one another.
