"If at the start this cancerous growth in the nation was not particularly noticeable, it was only because there were still enough forces at work that operated for the good, so that it was kept under control. As it grew larger, however, and finally in an ultimate spurt of growth attained ruling power, the tumor broke open, as it were, and infected the whole body." The White Rose, Munich 1942
"Whoever wishes to come with me, let them put aside their own selfish interests, and take up their cross, and follow me.
For whosoever wills to keep their life for themselves shall lose it; but whosoever puts aside their life for My sake, and that of the Gospel, shall save it.
What therefore is the profit in it, if you gain the whole world, but lose your self?"
Mark 8:34-36
