Martyrdom

No man is worth his salt
who is not ready at all times to risk his body,
to risk his well-being, to risk his life,
in a greater cause.
-Theodore Roosevelt
 
Martyrdom has always been a proof of the intensity,
never of the correctness of a belief.
-Arthur Schnitzler
 
Violent martyrdom for Truth's sake
is the result of zeal without wisdom.
-Charles Fillmore
 
It is not necessary to be a martyr
in the cause for Truth.
To obviate martyrdom, or useless persecution,
do not argue, do not dispute,
do not let your zeal run away with your
love and consideration for those who do not see things
from the same standpoint as you do.
-Charles Fillmore
 
Let us all be brave enough to die the death of a martyr,
but let no one lust for martyrdom.
-Mohandas Gandhi
