The City of God Quotes

“For God would never have created any human beings, let alone any angels, whose future evil he foreknew, if he had not known equally well how he would put them to use for the good and so adorn the course of the ages, like the most beautiful poem, with antitheses of a sort.[39]”
― Augustine of Hippo, The City of God: Books 11-22 (I/7)
