“We are philosophers – not in words – but in deeds. We do not speak great things; we live them.” – Cyprian

Clement of Alexandria:

“Nothing happens without the will of the Lord of the universe.  It remains to say that such things happen without the prevention of God.  For this alone saves both the providence and the goodness of God.  We must not, therefore, think that He actively produces afflictions. . . . Rather, we must be persuaded that He does not prevent those beings who cause them.  Yet, He overrules for good the crimes of His enemies.”
