Temptations, of course, cannot be avoided, but because we cannot prevent the birds from flying over our heads, there is no need that we should let them nest in our hair.

More quotes by Martin Luther
Beer is made by men, wine by God.
Martin Luther
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
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
For what God gives I thank indeed What He withholds I do not need
Martin Luther
Strange, though I am saved from sin, I am not saved from sinning.
Martin Luther
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
The gospel cannot be preached and heard enough, for it cannot be grasped well enough.
Martin Luther
The mad mob does not ask how it could be better, only that it be different. And when it then becomes worse, it must change again. Thus they get bees for flies, and at last hornets for bees.
Martin Luther
[It is] essentially wholesome and necessary, for a Christian to know, whether or not the will does any thing in those things which pertain unto Salvation. Nay, let me tell you, this is the very hinge upon which our discussion turns. It is the very heart of the subject
Martin Luther
The Devil, too, sometimes steals human children it is not infrequent for him to carry away infants within the first six weeks after birth, and to substitute in their place imps.
Martin Luther
No greater mischief can happen to a Christian people, than to have God's word taken from them, or falsified, so that they no longer have it pure and clear. God grant we and our descendants be not witness to such a calamity.
Martin Luther
Reason is the greatest enemy that faith has it never comes to the aid of spiritual things, but more frequently than not struggles against the divine Word, treating with contempt all that emanates from God.
Martin Luther
Good works do not make a good man, but a good man does good works.
Martin Luther
Now the Church is not wood and stone, but the company of believing people one must hold to them, and see how they believe, live and teach.
Martin Luther
If he have faith, the believer cannot be restrained. He betrays himself. He breaks out. He confesses and teaches this gospel to the people at the risk of life itself.
Martin Luther
The heart overflows with gladness, and leaps and dances for the joy it has found in God. In this experience the Holy Spirit is active, and has taught us in the flash of a moment the deep secret of joy. You will have as much joy and laughter in life as you have faith in God.
Martin Luther
A simple man with Scripture has more authority than the Pope or a council.
Martin Luther
Heaven and earth, all the emperors, kings, and princes of the world, could not raise a fit dwelling-place for God yet, in a weak human soul, that keeps His Word, He willingly resides.
Martin Luther
Rest in the Lord wait patiently for Him. In Hebrew, Be silent in God, and let Him mould thee. Keep still, and He will mould thee to the right shape.
Martin Luther
The mystery of the humanity of Christ, that he sunk himself into our flesh, is beyond all human understanding.
Martin Luther
