From a Tract Written to Romans

“Be ashamed, ye Roman people everywhere, be ashamed of the lives you lead! . . . It is
neither the strength of their bodies that makes the barbarians conquer, nor the weakness of
our nature that makes us subject to defeat. Let no one think or persuade himself otherwise—it
is our vicious lives alone that have conquered us.”
Salvian
