More quotes by Marcus Minucius Felix

Honest things always love the public light; wicked deeds are secret.

You punish crimes committed, with us the thought of crime is sin; you fear the voice of witnesses, we the sole voice of conscience.

We do not preach great things but we live them.

Are you of noble lineage? proud of your ancestry? Yet we are all born equal, virtue alone gives mark.

God cannot be seen: he is too bright for sight; nor grasped: he is too pure for touch; nor measured: for he is beyond all sense, infinite, measureless, his dimension known to him- self alone.
