Saint AugustineWe make ourselves a ladder out of our vices if we trample the vices themselves underfoot.
Saint AugustineThough there are very many nations all over the earth, ...there are no more than two kinds of human society, which we may justly call two cities, ...one consisting of those who live according to man, the other of those who live according to God ....To the City of Man belong the enemies of God, ...so inflamed with hatred against the City of God.
Saint Augustine
