Laudator Temporis Acti

Augustine, Sermons 306.8 (Patrologia Latina, vol. 38, col. 1404; tr. Edmund Hill):

A very great many of the ills of the human race, after all, have no other source but false and unfounded suspicions. You imagine someone hates you when perhaps he's fond of you; and that crooked suspicion makes you extremely hostile to someone who is extremely friendly. What's he to do, since you don't believe him or trust him, and he isn't able to show you his heart? He speaks to you and says, "I'm very fond of you." But because he could still say this and be lying—one uses the same words, after all, when lying as when telling the truth—you don't believe him, and still go on hating him.

Pleraque enim mala generis humani non aliunde oriuntur, nisi de suspicionibus falsis. Credis de homine quod oderit te, qui forte amat te; et per pravam suspicionem fis inimicissimus amicissimo. Quid faciat, cui non credis, et cor suum tibi demonstrare non valet? Loquitur tibi dicens, Amo te. Sed quia posset tibi hoc dicere et mentiens (ea sunt enim verba mentientis, quae vera dicentis), non credendo adhuc odisti.
