"I can never deny the justification for my teaching and believing in the Gospel of Jesus Christ and so God wills, my strength shall remain within me constantly, as long as I have not been proven wrong by the Holy Bible." ~ John Hus
"The Law makes not wise men simple, but simple men wise; not putting out the eyes of them that see, but giving light to the eyes .. the Word is a light .. the light causes not darkness, but the absence of the light; so the Word causes not heresies, but the absence of the Word.” ~ Elnathan Parr
"Fire, and hail; snow, and vapour; stormy wind fulfilling his Word." ~ Psalms 148:8
"Blessed are ye that sow beside all waters, that send forth thither the feet of the ox and the ass." ~ Isaiah 32:20
"Benefits and kindnesses should be conferred secretly, not with a view to fame; quietly and without seeking our own enjoyment, for God's sake, and for our neighbor's good." ~ Martin Luther
"In all places and in all societies godliness produces, advances, and establishes order, peace, safety, prosperity, all that is good, all that is lovely and agreeable, and all that is convenient and pleasant for human society and ordinary life. Piety is the special interest of all who are involved in governing and education. Piety is their greatest wisdom and policy. Piety is not moved to needless change. Piety cherishes worth and encourages industry, whereupon virtue flourishes and wealth is increased and, as a result, the occasions and means of disorder are stopped and the pretences for sedition and faction are cut off. Piety is a fence protecting each individual—rendering each man civil, condescending, kind, and helpful to others. Piety is the only and right ballast of society." ~ Isaac Barrow, Godliness is Profitable for All Things
"The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it." ~ Psalm 68:11
"My best and Christian counsel is, that all should draw from this spring or well-head; that is, should read the Bible diligently. For he who is well grounded and exercised in the text will be a good and perfect theologian; since one saying or text from the Bible is better than many glosses and commentaries, which are not strong and sound." ~ Martin Luther
