Every man has a right to utter what he thinks truth, and every other man has a right to knock him down for it. Martyrdom is the test.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Martyrdom is evidence only of a man's honesty - it is no evidence that he is not mistaken. Men have suffered martyrdom for all sorts of opinions in politics and in religion; yet they could not therefore have all been in the right; although they could give no stronger evidence that they believed themselves in the right.
Martyrdom covers a multitude of sins.
Let us all be brave enough to die the death of a martyr, but let no one lust for martyrdom.
Why should women not be a martyr for her cause?
It is the cause, not the death, that makes the martyr.
The martyr cannot be dishonored. Every lash inflicted is a tongue of fame; every prison a more illustrious abode.
A martyr can never cooperate with death, go to death in a way that they're not trying to escape.
Martyrdom: The only way a man can become famous without ability.
Martyrdom does not end something, it only a beginning.
Martyrdom is the only way a man can become famous without ability.
