No Respect for Tradition
Tertullian, Apology 6.9 (tr. T.R. Glover):
Newer› ‹Older
Where is the religious awe, where is the veneration owed by you to your ancestors? In dress, habit of life, furniture, feeling, yes! and speech, you have renounced your great-grandfathers!
ubi religio, ubi veneratio maioribus debita a vobis? habitu, victu, instructu, sensu, ipso denique sermone proavis renuntiastis.
