More quotes by Martin Niemoller
For it is, and must remain, the case that we must obey God rather than man.
Martin Niemoller
That which does not kill you will ultimately make you stronger.
Martin Niemoller
If your intuition is telling you not to do something, then don't. Your intuition is not stupid.
Martin Niemoller
Don't let your life wait for other people.
Martin Niemoller
First they came for the Jews, but I did nothing because I'm not a Jew. Then they came for the socialists, but I did nothing because I'm not a socialist. Then they came for the Catholics, but I did nothing because I'm not a Catholic. Finally, they came for me, but by then there was no one left to help me.
Martin Niemoller
More than fifty-five years ago my father told me, The Bible does not belong on the shelf but in your hand, under your eye, and in your heart.
Martin Niemoller
It took me a long time to understand that God is not the enemy of my enemies. God is not even the enemy of God's enemies.
Martin Niemoller
Ask the first man you meet what he means by defending freedom, and he'll tell you privately he means defending the standard of living.
Martin Niemoller
If you're not living I mean really living, you're dead already.
Martin Niemoller
We have no more thought of using our own powers to escape the arm of authorities than had the Apostles of old. No more are we ready to keep silent at man's behest when God commands us to speak. For it is, and must remain, the case that we must obey God rather than man.
Martin Niemoller
A man doesn't realize how much he can stand until he is put to the test. You can stand far more than you think you can. You are much stronger than you think you are.
