  • Augustine of Hippo, On Patience Chapter 8

    “By this patience, holy David bore the revilings of a railer, and, when he might easily have avenged himself, not only did it not, but even refrained another who was vexed and moved for him; and more put forth his kingly power by prohibiting than by exercising vengeance.” — editor's note: 2 Sam. xvi. 5–12
