Quote

If we Christians would join the Wise Men, we must close our eyes to all that glitters before the world and look rather on the despised and foolish things, help the poor, comfort the despised, and aid the neighbor in his need.

Martin Luther

More quotes by Martin Luther

Image
The devil flees before the sound of music almost as much as before the Word of God.
Martin Luther
Image
When the gospel flourishes in the church, everything flourishes with it.
Martin Luther
Image
I am bound by the texts of the Bible, my conscience is captive to the Word of God, I neither can nor will recant anything, since it is neither right nor safe to act against my conscience.
Martin Luther
Image
There is on earth among all dangers, no more dangerous thing than a richly endowed and adroid reason, especially if she enters into spiritual matters which concern the soul and God. For it is more possible to teach an ass to read than to blind such a reason and lead it right for reason must be deluded, blinded, and destroyed.
Martin Luther
Image
Every book is a great action and every great action is a book!
Martin Luther
Image
The devil is God's ape!
Martin Luther
Image
There are only two days on my calendar... today and the day of judgment
Martin Luther
Image
The human heart is like a millstone in a mill: when you put wheat under it, it turns and grinds and bruises the wheat to flour if you put no wheat, it still grinds on, but then 'tis itself it grinds and wears away.
Martin Luther
Image
We find no rest for our weary bones unless we cling to the word of grace.
Martin Luther
Image
The quest for glory can never be satisfied, it must be extinguished.
Martin Luther
Image
We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation.
Martin Luther
Image
A Christian is never in a state of completion but always in a process of becoming.
Martin Luther
Image
God may delay, but He always comes.
Martin Luther
Image
The church that preaches the gospel in all of its fullness, except as it applies to the great social ills of the day, is failing to preach the gospel.
Martin Luther
Image
Each betrayal begins with trust.
Martin Luther
Image
A Christian is a perfectly free lord of all, subject to none. A Christian is a perfectly dutiful servant of all, subject of all, subject to all.
Martin Luther
Image
Take a look at your own heart, and you will soon find out what has stuck to it and where your treasure is. It is easy to determine whether hearing the Word of God, living according to it, and achieving such a life gives you as much enjoyment and calls forth as much diligence from you as does accumulating and saving money and property.
Martin Luther
Image
So great are the effectiveness and power of the Word of God that the more it is persecuted the more it flourishes and grows.
Martin Luther
Image
Beer is made by men, wine by God.
Martin Luther
Image
Sinners are attractive because they are loved they are not loved because they are attractive.
Martin Luther
