Quote

Reason must be deluded, blinded, and destroyed. Faith must trample underfoot all reason, sense, and understanding, and whatever it sees must be put out of sight and ... know nothing but the word of God.

More quotes by Martin Luther

Image
Did I not tell you earlier that a Jew is such a noble, precious jewel that God and all the angels dance when he farts?
Martin Luther
Image
A preacher must be both soldier and shepherd. He must nourish, defend, and teach he must have teeth in his mouth, and be able to bite and fight.
Martin Luther
Image
If we wish to wash our hands of the Jews blasphemy and not share in their guilt, we have to part company with them. They must be driven from our country.
Martin Luther
Image
Someone asked Luther, Do you feel that you've been forgiven? He answered, No, but I'm as sure As there's a God in Heaven!
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
It is the duty of a prudent minister of God to hold his ministry in honor and to see to it that it is respected by those who are in his charge. Moreoever, it is the duty of a faithful minister not to exceed his powers and not to abuse his office in pride, but, rather, to administer it for the benefit of his subjects.
Martin Luther
Image
I know not the way God leads me, but well do I know my Guide.
Martin Luther
Image
We know that death never skips or spares anybody and that no one ever returns. And yet we go on like the blind, who see as little at midday as in the pitch-dark night. We do not take these examples to heart we do not realize that today or tomorrow our turn will come.
Martin Luther
Image
The inner man cannot be forced to do out of his own free will, what he should do, except the grace of God change the heart and make it willing.
Martin Luther
Image
Those speak foolishly who ascribe their anger or their impatience to such as offend them or to tribulation. Tribulation does not make people impatient, but proves that they are impatient. So everyone may learn from tribulation how his heart is constituted.
Martin Luther
Image
Every week I preach justification by faith to my people, because every week they forget it.
Martin Luther
Image
We know, on the authority of Moses, that longer than six thousand years the world did not exist.
Martin Luther
Image
What man, if he were God, would humble himself to lie in the feedbox of a donkey or to hang upon a cross?
Martin Luther
Image
A person whodoes not regard music as a marvelous creation of God, must be a clodhopper indeed and does not deserve to be called a human being he should be permitted to hear nothing but the braying of asses and the grunting of hogs.
Martin Luther
Image
He that will maintain that man's free will is able to do or work anything in spiritual cases, be they never so small, denies Christ.
Martin Luther
Image
Whoever wishes to be a Christian, let him pluck out the eyes of his reason.
Martin Luther
Image
If I had to baptise a Jew, I would take him to the bridge of the Elbe, hang a stone around his neck and push him over with the words 'I baptise thee in the name of Abraham'.
Martin Luther
Image
A woman has no control over herself.
Martin Luther
Image
We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation.
Martin Luther
Image
I was born to fight devils and factions. It is my business to remove obstacles, to cut down thorns, to fill up quagmires and to open and make straight paths. If I must have some failing let me rather speak the truth with too great sincerity than once to act the hypocrite and conceal the truth.
