More quotes by Martin Luther

Farewell unhappy, hopeless, blasphemous Rome! The Wrath of God has come upon you, as you deserve. We cared for Babylon, and she is not healed let us then leave her, that she may become the habitation of dragons, spectres, and witches.
Martin Luther
Image
False preachers are worse than deflowerers of virgins.
Martin Luther
Image
This is the good and happy news, that Christ has paid for our sin, and through His suffering has redeemed us from eternal death. It is His kingdom and His ministry, to preach the Gospel to the poor that is His purpose. For to the great and holy He cannot come. They do not wish to be counted sinners, and therefore do not need His Gospel.
Martin Luther
Image
In our sad condition our only consolation is the expectancy of another life. Here below all is incomprehensible.
Martin Luther
Image
No man ought to lay a cross upon himself, or to adopt tribulation, as is done in popedom but if a cross or tribulation come upon him, then let him suffer it patiently, and know that it is good and profitable for him.
Martin Luther
Image
The Bible is the proper book for men. There the truth is distinguished from error far more clearly than anywhere else, and one finds something new in it every day. For twenty-eight years, since I became a doctor, I have now constantly read and preached the Bible and yet I have not exhausted it but find something new in it every day.
Martin Luther
Image
What shall we do with...the Jews?...their homes also should be razed and destroyed.
Martin Luther
Image
The law of God cannot be fulfilled by external obedience.
Martin Luther
Image
Great people and champions are special gifts of God, whom He gives and preserves they do their work, and achieve great actions, not with vain imaginations, or cold and sleepy cogitations, but by motion of God.
Martin Luther
Image
I am so busy now that if I did not spend three hours each day in prayer, I could not get through the day.
Martin Luther
Image
Before every great opportunity God gave me a great trial.
Martin Luther
Image
Some will object that the Law is divine and holy. Let it be divine and holy. The Law has no right to tell me that I must be justified by it.
Martin Luther
Image
This error of free will is a special doctrine of the Antichrist.
Martin Luther
Image
Christ is the master the Scriptures are only the servant.
Martin Luther

For they who think they make an end of temptation by yeilding to it, only set themselves on fire the more.

I have always loved music whoso has skill in this art, is of a good temperament, fitted for all things. We must teach music in schools a schoolmaster ought to have skill in music, or I would not regard him neither should we ordain young men as preachers, unless they have been well exercised in music

I have undertaken to translate the Bible into German. This was good for me otherwise I might have died in the mistaken notion that I was a learned fellow.
Martin Luther
Image
In Switzerland, on a high mountain, not far from Lucerne, there is a lake they call Pilate's Pond, which the Devil has fixed upon as one of the chief residences of his evil spirits.

The law works fear and wrath grace works hope and mercy.

None can believe how powerful prayer is, and what it is able to effect, but those who have learned it by experience.
