Luther and Lewis

Thus, then, we must act. When they threaten our life we must suffer it and give love for hate and good for evil. But when they attack the Gospel, they attack God’s honour. Then love and patience must end and we must not remain silent, but we must also speak out.—Martin Luther, Sermons 1525

To beget is to become the father of; to create is to make. And the difference is this. When you beget, you beg something of the same kind as yourself.—C. S. Lewis, Business of Heaven, p. 275.
