Tertullian

Quintus Septimius Florens Tertullianus (ca. A.D. 155-ca. 220), or Tertullian, was a Carthaginian Christian writer and theologian. He was one of first Christians to write in Latin and first to use the term "Trinity."


Christians are made, not born.

Every country has its own language, yet the subjects of which the untutored soul speaks are the same everywhere.

It is certain, because it is impossible.

It is certainly no part of religion to compel religion.

Man is one name belonging to every nation upon earth. In them all is one soul though many tongues.

Truth persuades by teaching, but does not teach by persuading.

You can judge the quality of their faith from the way they behave. Discipline is an index to doctrine.
