Everything good and everything evil, in respect of which we are either worthy of praise or of blame, is done by us, not born with us.  We are not born in our full development, but with a capacity for good and evil; we are begotten as well without virtue as without vice.

as quoted by Augustine in On the Grace of Christ and On Original Sin (2:14)
