It is truer to say that martyrs create faith more than faith creates martyrs.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
They're not put on earth to be martyrs; they have to want to come out. It depends on your culture, where you work, where you live. Each person's circumstances are unique.
The people who have really made history are the martyrs.
Faith is the heroism of the intellect.
Martyrs do not underrate the body, they allow it to be elevated on the cross. In this they are at one with their antagonists.
While I do not suggest that humanity will ever be able to dispense with its martyrs, I cannot avoid the suspicion that with a little more thought and a little less belief their number may be substantially reduced.
The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church.
A faith is something you die for, a doctrine is something you kill for. There is all the difference in the world.
Faith activates God - Fear activates the Enemy.
Life is only a long and bitter suicide, and faith alone can transform this suicide into a sacrifice.
It is the cause, not the death, that makes the martyr.
