Quote

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.

Make sure to send a lazy man the angel of death.
Martin Luther

At Sussen, the Devil carried off, last Good Friday, three grooms who had devoted themselves to him.
Martin Luther
Image
An angel is a spiritual creature created by God without a body, for the service of Christendom and of the church.
Martin Luther
Image
If there is anything in us, it is not our own it is a gift of God. But if it is a gift of God, then it is entirely a debt one owes to love, that is, to the law of Christ. And if it is a debt owed to love, then I must serve others with it, not myself.
Martin Luther
Image
The state of matrimony is the chief in the world after religion but people shun it because of its inconveniences, like one who, running out of the rain, falls into the river.
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

Out of the mountain of despair, a stone of hope.
Martin Luther
Image
The spiritual rest, which God particularly intends in this Commandment, is this: that we not only cease from our labor and trade, but much more, that we let God alone work in us and that we do nothing of our own with all our powers.
Martin Luther
Image
But then eject them forever from this country. For, as we have heard, God's anger with them is so intense that gentle mercy will only tend to make them worse and worse, while sharp mercy will reform them but little. Therefore, in any case, away with them!
Martin Luther
Image
The saved are singled out not by their own merits, but by the grace of the Mediator.
Martin Luther
Image
Medicine makes people ill, mathematics make them sad and theology makes them sinful.
Martin Luther
Image
Whatever you love most, that is your god.
Martin Luther
Image
God does not love sinners because they are attractive sinners are attractive to God because he loves them.
Martin Luther
Image
Therefore we Christians, in turn, are obliged not to tolerate their wanton and conscious blasphemy.
Martin Luther
Image
It is impossible for one man both to labor day and night to get a living, and at the same time give himself to the study of sacred learning as the preaching office requires.
Martin Luther
Image
A man cannot do good before he is made good.
Martin Luther
Image
Cujus region, ejus rligio (Whoever's reign, his religion) ... He who owns the country owns the Church, and he that makes your laws for you has the right to make your religion for you.
Martin Luther
Image
Faith is the master, and reason the maid-servant.
Martin Luther
Image
Hereby we may understand that God, of His special grace, maketh the teachers of the gospel subject to the Cross, and to all kinds of afflicitons, for the salvation of themselves and of the people for otherwise they could by no means beat down this beast which is called vain-glory.
Martin Luther
Image
It is impossible for a man to be a Christian without having Christ and if he has Christ he has at the same time all that is in Christ.
Martin Luther
