Martin Luther Safe Quotations

A safe stronghold our God is still. A trusty shield and weapon.

It is neither right nor safe to go against my conscience.

What shall we do with...the Jews?...I advise that safe-conduct on the highways be abolished completely for the Jews.

It is neither safe nor prudent to do anything against conscience.

Unless I am convicted by Scripture and plain reason-I do not accept the authority of popes and councils, for they have contradicted each other-my conscience is captive to the Word of God. I cannot and will not recant anything, for to go against conscience is neither right nor safe. Here I stand, I cannot do otherwise. God help me. Amen.

I cannot choose but adhere to the word of God, which has possession of my conscience; nor can I possibly, nor will I even make any recantation, since it is neither safe nor honest to act contrary to conscience! Here I stand; I cannot do otherwise, so help me God! Amen.
