"Unless I am convinced by Scripture and plain reason - I do not accept the authority of the popes and councils, for they have contradicted each other - my conscience is captive to the Word of God. I cannot and I will not recant anything for to go against conscience is neither right nor safe. God help me. Amen." - Martin Luther (before the diet of Worms, 1512)
"Coerce religion on a good day produces hypocrites and on a bad day, rivers of blood." - Roger Williams
"There comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but he must take it because consience tells him it is right." -Martin Luther King Jr., A Testament of Hope: The Essential Writings and Speeches
