More quotes by Marcus Minucius Felix

Man’s doing, not his dignity, is judged.

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.

And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
