Let it be your consolation, then, that God's enemies, however honorable and exalted they may have been, shall nevertheless fade away like the smoke.

• ‟ Between the uprightness of my conscience and the hardness of my lot, I know not how either to show respect to my feelings or to the times.

Which way shall I turn myself?

  - Thomas Becket
  

• ‟ My beloved brethren, why do you not rise together with me against the malignants? Why do you not stand up with me to oppose those who work iniquity? Do you not know how that God will scatter the bones of those who strive to oppress Him? They shall be confounded, because the Lord hath despised them.

  - Thomas Becket
  

• ‟ In truth, we have delayed to pass sentence on the person of our lord the king, waiting, if perhaps he may, by God's grace, repent; but we will pass it ere long unless he does repent.

  - Thomas Becket
