Quotations
- We'll fight to the last in the honest old cause,And guard our religion, our freedom and laws;We'll fight for our country, our King and his crown,And make all the traitors and croppies lie down.Down, down, croppies lie down.from Croppies Lie Down
We have no right to expect anything but the pure Gospel of Christ, unmixed and unadulterated,- the same Gospel that was taught by the Apostles,- to do good to the souls of men I belive that to maintain this pure truth in the Church men should be ready to make any sacrifice, to hazard peace, to risk dissention, and run the risk of division. They should no more tolerate false doctrine than they would tolerate sin. They should withstand any adding to or taking away from the simple message of the Gospel of Christ.
... peace without truth is a false peace, it is the very peace of the devil. Unity without the Gospel is a worthless unity; it is the very unity of Hell.
Unity which is obtained by the sacrifice of truth is worth nothing. It is not the unity which pleases God ....
Controversy in religion is a hateful thing .... But there is one thing which is even worse than controversy, and that is false doctrine tolerated, allowed, and permitted without protest or molestation .... There are times when controversy is not only a duty but a benefit. Give me the mighty thunderstorm rather than the pestilential malaria. The one walks in darkness and poisons us in silence, and we are never safe. The other frightens us and alarms for a little season. but it is soon over, and it clears the air. It is a plain Scriptural duty to "contend earnestly for the faith once delivered to the saints" (Jude 3).J.C. Ryle
- Unless I am convicted by scripture and plain reason - I do not accept the authority of the popes and councils, for they have contradicted each other - my conscience is captive to the Word of God. I cannot and I will not recant anything for to go against conscience is neither right nor safe. God help me. Amen.Martin Luther
- God forbid that this fair colony should be converted into a nation of people with dirty faces, where stolid brutality, grim famine, want, misery, crime in all its phases, pauperism, indigence, bigotry, ignorance and filth, are the sure accompaniments and result of Roman Catholic misgovernment in all Catholic countries of the globe.Letter to The Age (Melbourne), 1862
