Jan Hus

“For to kill a man is not to defend a doctrine, but to kill a man.”

“Therefore, faithful Christian, seek the truth, listen to the truth, learn the truth, love the truth, tell the truth, hold the truth, defend the truth until death.”

“What I have taught with my lips, I now seal with my blood.”

“You are now going to burn a goose, but in a century you will have a swan which you can neither roast nor boil.”

“It is better to die well than to live ill.”

“I would not for a chapel of gold retreat from the truth!”

“O holy simplicity!”

“In a word, I have based my faith on the gospel of Christ and not on the creeds of men.”

“I am prepared to die in the truth of the Gospel, which I have preached.”

“God is my witness that I have never taught or preached that which has been falsely ascribed to me.”

“Woe to me if I do not preach. Woe to me if I am silent.”

“Rejoice, that the immortal God is born, that you may learn to die.”
