„Inherent of human condition is the sickness of believing the rest are impostors and heathen, and not ourselves, because nobody recognizes his own mistakes“
Letter to Oecolampadius, an hebraist of Basel, as quoted by Francisco Javier González Echeverría, and translated by Otis Towns & Miguel González Ancín in the English "Introduction" at Michael Servetus Rresearch http://www.michaelservetusresearch.com/ENGLISH/
Контексте: Inherent of human condition is the sickness of believing the rest are impostors and heathen, and not ourselves, because nobody recognizes his own mistakes … If one must condemn everyone that misses in a particular point then every mortal would have to be burnt a thousand times. The apostles and Luther himself have been mistaken … If I have taken the word, by any reason, it has been because I think it is grave to kill men, under the pretext that they are mistaken on the interpretation of some point, for we know that even the chosen ones are not exempt from sometimes being wrong.

„Michael Servetus, alone, but trusting in Christ’s most sure protection.“
While in prison, Servetus signed his last letter with these words.
„Poor people always lose in struggles.“
A sentence from his first edition of Ptolemy's Geography (1535)
„In the Bible, there is no mention of the Trinity… We get to know God, not through our proud philosophical concepts, but through Christ.“
At the age of 20, he published On the Errors of the Trinity, a work that made him a principal target of the Inquisition.
„I do not agree or disagree in everything with either one party or the other. Because all seem to me to have some truth and some error, but everyone recognizes the other’s error and nobody discerns his own.“
Statement with respect to both Catholics and Protestants written after his work On the Errors of the Trinity
„I have seen with my own eyes how the pope was carried on the shoulders of the princes, with all the pomp, being adored in the streets by the surrounding people.“
Such considerations were reinforced when he attended the coronation of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor by Pope Clement VII, and witnessed the Pope, seated on his portable throne, receive the king, who kissed his feet.
