Mi Señor recorrió el camino de la verdad y el deber, aunque lo llevó al Calvario. ¿Puedo yo, uno de sus humildes seguidores, regresar ahora? Dar testimonio de la verdad de Dios es más importante que la vida. Entonces, con alegría, confirmaré con mi sangre todos los escritos y predicaciones de verdades que he sostenido. En tus manos, oh Señor, encomiendo mi espíritu.”

“I call God to witness that all I have written and preached, has been to rescue souls from sin. There can be no turning back. My Lord walked the path of truth and duty, even though it took Him to Calvary. Can I, one of his humble followers, turn back now? To witness to God's truth is more important than life. Joyfully then, will I confirm with my blood all the writings and preachings of truths that I've held. Into Thy hands, O Lord, I commit my spirit.”

“The people from Prague and other Czechs should be whipped who speak half Czech and half German (…) And who could enumerate how the Czech language has already been corrupted, so that the true Czech hears they speak, but he does not understand them. And from that arises envy, anger, conflict, strife and Czech humiliation.”

“It is better to die well, than to live wrongly (…) who is afraid of death loses the joy of life; truth prevails all, prevails who is killed, because no adversity can harm him, who is not dominated by injustice.”
Melius est bene mori, quam male vivere (...) qui mortem metuit, amittit gaudia vitae; super omnia vincit veritas, vincit, qui occiditur, quia nulla ei nocet adversitas, si nulla ei dominatur iniquitas.
