St. Augustine,*

De Civitate Dei, XIX--xxiv.

[xxiii]

Populus est cœtus multitudinis rationalis rerum
quas diligit concordi communione sociatus; pro-
fecto ut videatur qualis quisque populus sit illa
sunt intuenda quœ diligit.

St. Augustine, De Civitate Dei, XIX--xxiv.

A nation is an association of reasonable beings
united in a peaceful sharing of the things they
cherish; therefore, to determine the quality of a
nation, you must consider what those things are.

St. Augustine, The City of God, XIX--xxiv.
