What God says is best, indeed is best, though all men in the world are against it. Seeing, then, that God prefers his religion; seeing God prefers a tender conscience [1]; seeing they that make themselves fools for the kingdom of heaven are wisest; and that the poor man that loveth Christ is richer than the greatest man in the world that hates him: Shame, depart, thou art an enemy to my salvation [2].

― John Bunyan (baptised 30 November 1628 – 31 August 1688, English writer and Puritan preacher, an author of The Pilgrim's Progress).
