Quote

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

Image
I see a word that hates evil more than it loves good.
Martin Luther
Image
I must remain a child and pupil of the Catechism, and am glad so to remain.
Martin Luther
Image
There is no gown or garment that worse becomes a woman than when she will be wise.
Martin Luther
Image
Anyone who is to find Christ must first find the church. How could anyone know where Christ is and what faith is in him unless he knew where his believers are?
Martin Luther
Image
I think that we've got to see that a riot is the language of the unheard. And, what is it that America has failed to hear? It has failed to hear that the economic plight of the Negro poor has worsened over the last few years.
Martin Luther
Image
If anyone could have gained heaven as a monk, then I would indeed have been among them.
Martin Luther
Image
Godly people are waiting for the Lord therefore they live, therefore they are saved, therefore they receive what has been promised.
Martin Luther
Image
Be a sinner, and let your sins be strong, but let your trust in Christ be stronger, and rejoice in Christ who is the victor over sin, death, and the world.
Martin Luther
Image
For from the error of not knowing, or understanding, what sin is, there necessarily arises another error, that people cannot know or understand what grace is.
Martin Luther
Image
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
Image
I've got so much work to do today, I'd better spend two hours in prayer instead of one.
Martin Luther
Image
Faith cannot be inherited or gained by being baptized into a Church. Faith is a matter between the individual and God.
Martin Luther
Image
So tenaciously should we cling to the world revealed by the Gospel, that were I to see all the Angels of Heaven coming down to me to tell me something different, not only would I not be tempted to doubt a single syllable, but I would shut my eyes and stop my ears, for they would not deserve to be either seen or heard.
Martin Luther
Image
Grace remits sin, and peace quiets the conscience. Sin and conscience torment us, but Christ has overcome these fiends now and forever.
Martin Luther
Image
God can be found only in suffering and the cross.
Martin Luther
Image
A Christian has no need of any law in order to be saved, since through faith we are free from every law. Thus all the acts of a Christian are done spontaneously, out of a sense of pure liberty.
Martin Luther
Image
I did nothing. The Word did it all.
Martin Luther
Image
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
Image
The faith towards God in Christ must be sure and steadfast, that it may solace and make glad the conscience, and put it to rest. When a man has this certainty, he has overcome the serpent but if he be doubtful of the doctrine, it is for him very dangerous to dispute with the devil.
Martin Luther
Image
Pray, and let God worry.
Martin Luther
