It is the cause, not the death, that makes the martyr.

A cause may be inconvenient, but it’s magnificent. It’s like champagne or high shoes, and one must be prepared to suffer for it.
Arnold Bennett (1867-1931) British novelist.
What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure.

I don’t mind martyrdom for a policy in which I believe, but I object to being burnt for someone else’s principles.

There have been quite as many martyrs for bad causes as for good ones.
Hendrik Van Loon (1882-1944) American journalist, historian.
I ma very fond of truth, but not at all of martyrdom.

The tyrant dies and his rule is over; the martyr dies and his rule begins.

It is well for his peace that the saint goes to his martyrdom. He is spared the sight of the horror of his harvest.

The torments of martyrdom are probably most keenly felt by the bystanders.
Play the man, Master Ridley; we shall this day light such a candle by God’s grace, in England, as I trust shall never be put one.
But whether on the scaffold high, Or in the battle’s van; The fittest place where man can die is where he dies for man.
Michael J.Barry (1817-1889) Irish barrister.
Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.
Bible, Psalms.
A thing is not necessarily true because a man dies for it.

It is the cause and not merely the death that makes the martyr.
Napoleon.
Christianity has made martyrdom sublime, and sorrow triumphant.
E.H.Chapin.
To die for the truth is not to die merely for one’s faith, or one’s country; it is to die for the world.

Cowper.

Colton.
Those who completely sacrifice themselves are praised and admired; that is the short of character men like to find in others.
Rahel.
It is admirable to die the victim of one’s faith; it is sad to die the dupe of one’s ambition.
Lamartine.
God discovers the martyr and confessor without the trial of flames and tortures, and will thereafter entitle many to the reward of actions which they never had the opportunity of performing.
Addison.
Even in this world they will have their judgment day; and their names, which went down in the dust like a gallant banner trodden in the mire, shall rise again all glorious in the sight of nations.
Mrs. Stowe.
It is more difficult, and calls for higher energies of soul, to live a martyr than to die one.

For some not to be martyred is a martyrdom.
