Thomas Becket

"There has been no satisfaction, and I will not absolve them."

"I am ready to die for my Lord, that in my blood the Church may obtain liberty and peace. But in the name of Almighty God, I forbid you to hurt my people whether clerk or lay."

"For the Name of Jesus and the protection of the Church I am ready to embrace death."

"Ich bin bereit für meinen Gott zu sterben, damit durch mein Blut die Kirche Freiheit und Frieden erlangen möge."
