“He traces from the earliest days the history of what he calls the City of Men and the City of God. These cities are built upon two contrary affections. Love of self, carried to the length of disregard of God, makes the City of Men. The love of God, carried to the length of contempt of self, makes the City of God.” (Page 192)

“Adam had transmitted to his posterity an inheritance of sinfulness, but that man’s will was free to choose good or evil, to receive or reject salvation.” (Page 196)

“Master of Rhetoric in Milan, Augustine held a public position of some dignity, which would at once introduce him into society.” (Page 54)

“Manichæans, but ‘settled to be content with the way he had fallen upon, unless something more eligible should dawn upon him.’” (Page 49)

“and then, and the young scholars rapidly write down the conversation, and Monica hangs upon her son’s words” (Page 79)
