Quote by Augustine
“La sabiduría y la necedad se parecen a los alimentos, que son buenos unos y malos otros, pero se pueden unos y otros servir lo mismo en vasija de lujo que en vasos rústicos y corrientes. La sabiduría y la necedad pueden ofrecerse lo mismo con palabras cultas y escogidas que con expresiones corrientes y vulgares.”

Aurelius Augustinus - more commonly "St. Augustine of Hippo," or simply "Augustine" - was a philosopher and theologian, and one of the most important figures in the development of Western Christianity. He framed the concepts of original sin and just war. Augustine was one of the most prolific Latin authors in terms of surviving works, and the list of his works consists of more than a hundred separate titles.
Augustine took the view that the Biblical text should not be interpreted literally if it contradicts what we know from science and our God-given reason. Many Protestants, especially Calvinists, consider him to be one of the theological fathers of Reformation teaching on salvation and divine grace.
