That which does not kill you will ultimately make you stronger.

First they arrested the Communists - but I was not a Communist, so I did nothing. Then they came for the Social Democrats - but was not a Social Democrat, so I did nothing. Then they arrested the trade unionists - and I did nothing because I was not one. And then they came for the Jews and then the Catholics, but I was neither a Jew nor a Catholic and I did nothing. At last they came and arrested me - and there was no one left to do anything about it.

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.

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.

If you can laugh at yourself, you are going to be fine. If you allow others to laugh with you, you will be great.

For it is, and must remain, the case that we must obey God rather than man.
