More quotes by Martin Luther

Image
It is not I that smite, stab, and slay, but God and my prince, for my hand and my body are now their servants.
Martin Luther
Image
Some people need a fig-leaf on their mouths.
Martin Luther
Image
Therefore we Christians, in turn, are obliged not to tolerate their wanton and conscious blasphemy.
Martin Luther
Image
This doctrine (justification) is the head and the cornerstone. It alone begets, nourishes, builds, preserves, and defends the church of God and without it the church of God cannot exist for one hour.
Martin Luther
Image
It is better to think of church in the ale-house than to think of the ale-house in church.
Martin Luther
Image
I refuse to accept the idea that man is mere flotsam and jetsam in the river of life, unable to influence the unfolding events which surround him. I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality.
Martin Luther
Image
Whatever your heart clings to and confides in, that is really your God, your functional savior.
Martin Luther
Image
Strange, though I am saved from sin, I am not saved from sinning.
Martin Luther
Image
I have before me God's Word which cannot fail, nor can the gates of hell prevail against it thereby will I remain, though the whole world be against me.
Martin Luther
Image
Christ ought to be preached with this goal in mind--that we might be moved to faith in him so that he is not just a distant historical figure but actually Christ for you and me.
Martin Luther
Image
Faith ever says, If Thou wilt, not If Thou canst.
Martin Luther
Image
Sleep is a most useful and most salutary operation of nature. Scarcely any minor annoyance angers me more than the being suddenly awakened out of a pleasant slumber. I understand that in Italy they torture poor people by depriving them of sleep. `Tis a torture that cannot long be endured.
Martin Luther
Image
That which the sober man keeps in his breast, the drunken man lets out at the lips. Astute people, when they want to ascertain a man's true character, make him drunk.
Martin Luther
Image
Nothing in the world causes so much misery as uncertainty.
Martin Luther
Image
The devil and temptations also do give occasion unto us somewhat to learn and understand the Scriptures, by experience and practice. Without trials and temptations we should never understand anything thereof no, not although we diligently read and heard the same.
Martin Luther
Image
The Bible is the book that makes fools of the wise of this world it is only understood by the plain and simple hearted.
Martin Luther
Image
Men are so delving into the mysteries of things that today a boy of twenty knows more than twenty doctors formerly knew.
Martin Luther
Image
I often laugh at Satan, and there is nothing that makes him so angry as when I attack him to his face, and tell him that through God I am more than a match for him
Martin Luther
Image
As for the demented, I hold it certain that all beings deprived of reason are thus afflicted only by the Devil.
Martin Luther
Image
The Holy Spirit is no Skeptic, & the things He has written in our hearts are not doubts or opinions, but assertions - surer & more certain than sense & life itself.
Martin Luther
