Martin Luther at the Diet of Worms, 1521

“I cannot submit my faith either to the Pope or to the council because it is clear that they have fallen into error and even into inconsistency with themselves. If then I’m not convinced by proof from Holy Scripture or by cogent reasons, if I’m not satisfied by the very text I have cited, and if my judgment is not in this way brought in subjection to God’s word, I neither can nor will retract anything. For it cannot be either safe or honest for a Christian to speak against his conscience. Here I stand. I can do no other. Ich kann nicht anders. So help me God. Amen.”
