The prosperity of a country depends, not on the abundance of its revenues, nor on the strength of its fortifications, nor on the beauty of its public buildings but it consists in the number of its cultivated citizens, in its men of education, enlightenment and character.
Martin Luther
Image
Faith is the master, and reason the maid-servant.
Martin Luther
