Quote

All which happens through the whole world happens through hope. No husbandman would sow a grain of corn if he did not hope it would spring up and bring forth the ear how much more we are helped on by hope in the eternal life.

More quotes by Martin Luther

Image
The whole being of any Christian is faith and love. Faith brings the person to God, love brings the person to people.
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
If we wish to wash our hands of the Jews blasphemy and not share in their guilt, we have to part company with them. They must be driven from our country.
Martin Luther
Image
Married love burns as fire, and seeks nothing more than the mate. It says, I want only you
Martin Luther
Image
Truly, if faith is there, the believer cannot hold back... he breaks out into good works.
Martin Luther
Image
If it were art to overcome heresy with fire, the executioners would be the most learned doctors on earth.
Martin Luther
Image
For that purpose Christ instituted holy baptism, thereby to clothe you with his righteousness. It is tantamount to his saying, My righteousness shall be your righteousness my innocence, your innocence. Your sins indeed are great, but by baptism I bestow on you my righteousness I strip death from you and clothe you with my life.
Martin Luther
Image
Blessed is the man that hath not walked in the way of the Sacramentarians, nor sat in the seat of the Zwinglians, nor followed the Council of the Zurichers.
Martin Luther
Image
To pray well is the better half of study.
Martin Luther
Image
Truly speech has wonderful strength and power, that through a mere word, proceeding out of the mouth of a poor human creature, the devil, that so proud and powerful spirit, should be driven away, shamed and confounded.
Martin Luther
Image
[The Psalms are] a Little Bible, wherein everything contained in the entire Bible is beautifully and briefly comprehended.
Martin Luther
Image
Human nature is like a drunk peasant. Lift him into the saddle on one side, over he topples on the other side.
Martin Luther
Image
You must learn that if you are a Christian, you will without a doubt experience all kinds of opposition and evil inclinations in the flesh. For when you have faith, there will be a hundred more evil thoughts and a hundred more temptations than before.
Martin Luther
Image
Singing has nothing to do with the affairs of this world: it is not for the law. Singers are merry, and free from sorrows and cares.
Martin Luther
Image
While we contemplate in all creatures, as in a mirror, those immense riches of His wisdom, justice, goodness and power, we should not meerly run them over cursorily, and, so to speak, with a fleeting glance, but we should ponder them at length, turn them over in our mind seriously and faithfully and recollect them repeatedly.
Martin Luther
Image
Let us not lose the Bible, but with diligence, in fear and invocation of God, read and preach it. While that remains and flourishes, all prospers with the state 'tis head and empress of all arts and faculties. Let but divinity fall, and I would not give a straw for the rest.
Martin Luther
Image
The devil is God's ape!
Martin Luther
Image
Mary was not only holy. She was also the mother of the Lord.
Martin Luther
Image
Who waits until circumstances completely favor his undertaking, will never accomplish anything.
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
