Famous quotes containing the word felix:

    There is no call for indignation or resentment at anyone whatsoever inquiring, holding,
    or propounding views concerning the divine, for it is not the authority of the disputant, but
    the truth of the disputation that is in the request.
    —Marcus Minucius Felix (2nd or 3rd cen. A.D.)
