i12bent: Hail to St. Augustine of Hippo (Nov. 13, 354 - 430) - author of The Confessions: “Already I had learned from thee that because a thing is eloquently expressed it should not be taken to be as necessarily true; nor because it is uttered with stammering lips should it be supposed false. Nor, again, is it necessarily true because rudely uttered, nor untrue because the language is brilliant.” Above: Sandro Botticelli: St. Augustine in His Study, c. 1480 - fresco (Chiesa di Ognissanti, Firenze)
