“Pero el arte del sofisma, que los griegos cultivaron, es un poder fantástico, que hace que las falsas opiniones se hagan realidad por medio de las palabras. Porque produce retórica para persuasión, y disputa para la discusión. Estas artes, por lo tanto, si no se unen con la filosofía, serán perjudiciales para todos.”

Original: «But the art of sophistry, which the Greeks cultivated, is a fantastic power, which makes false opinions like true by means of words. For it produces rhetoric in order to persuasion, and disputation for wrangling. These arts, therefore, if not conjoined with philosophy, will be injurious to every one».

Clemente de Alejandría: Frases en inglés

“To me, therefore, that Thracian Orpheus, that Theban, and that Methymnaean,--men, and yet unworthy of the name,--seem to have been deceivers, who, under the pretence of poetry corrupting human life, possessed by a spirit of artful sorcery for purposes of destruction, celebrating crimes in their orgies, and making human woes the materials of religious worship, were the first to entice men to idols; nay, to build up the stupidity of the nations with blocks of wood and stone,--that is, statues and images,--subjecting to the yoke of extremest bondage the truly noble freedom of those who lived as free citizens under heaven by their songs and incantations. But not such is my song, which has come to loose, and that speedily, the bitter bondage of tyrannizing demons; and leading us back to the mild and loving yoke of piety, recalls to heaven those that had been cast prostrate to the earth. It alone has tamed men, the most intractable of animals; the frivolous among them answering to the fowls of the air, deceivers to reptiles, the irascible to lions, the voluptuous to swine, the rapacious to wolves. The silly are stocks and stones, and still more senseless than stones is a man who is steeped in ignorance. As our witness, let us adduce the voice of prophecy accordant with truth, and bewailing those who are crushed in ignorance and folly: "For God is able of these stones to raise up children to Abraham;" and He, commiserating their great ignorance and hardness of heart who are petrified against the truth, has raised up a seed of piety, sensitive to virtue, of those stones--of the nations, that is, who trusted in stones. Again, therefore, some venomous and false hypocrites, who plotted against righteousness, he once called "a brood of vipers."”

But if one of those serpents even is willing to repent, and follows the Word, he becomes a man of God.
Exhortation to the Heathen

“He alone can remit sins who is appointed our Master by the Father of all; He only is able to discern obedience from disobedience.”

As quoted in 'Noble Thoughts in Noble Language (1871) edited by Henry Southgate, p. 2.

“The purified righteous man has become a coin of the Lord, and has the impress of his King stamped upon him.”

Reported in Josiah Hotchkiss Gilbert, Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895), p. 104.

“There is one river of truth, which receives tributaries from every side.”

Clement of Alexandria libro Stromata

Stromata (Miscellanies, c. 198–203 AD), I: 5.
Variante: Variant translation: There is one river of truth, but many streams fall into it on this side and that.
