More quotes by Martin Luther

Image
Isaiah calls the Church barren because her children are born without effort by the Word of faith through the Spirit of God. It is a matter of birth, not of exertion.
Martin Luther
Image
Men are not made religious by performing certain actions which are externally good, but they must first have righteous principles, and then they will not fail to perform virtuous actions.
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
If the peasants are in open rebellion, then they are outside the law of God. Therefore let all who are able slash, strike down, and kill (those who rebel) openly and secretly, remembering that there can be nothing more venomous, harmful, or devilish than a rebel. It is exactly like killing a mad dog.
Martin Luther
Image
How often have not the demons called 'Nix,' drawn women and girls into the water, and there had commerce with them, with fearful consequences.
Martin Luther
Image
The Bible is alive, it speaks to me it has feet, it runs after me it has hands, it lays hold of me.
Martin Luther
Image
Faith is the yes of the heart.
Martin Luther
Image
I am more afraid of my own heart than of the pope and all his cardinals. I have within me the great pope, Self.
Martin Luther
Image
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
Image
Married love burns as fire, and seeks nothing more than the mate. It says, I want only you
Martin Luther
Image
I have no use for cranks who despise music, because it is a gift of God. Music drives away the Devil and makes people joyful they forget thereby all wrath, unchastity, arrogance, and the like. Next after theology, I give to music the highest place and the greatest honor.
Martin Luther
Image
A unjust law, is no law at all.
Martin Luther
Image
It is necessary to understand that Black Power is a cry of disappointment. The Black Power slogan did not spring full grown from the head of some philosophical Zeus. It was born from the wounds of despair and disappointment. It is a cry of daily hurt and persistent pain.
Martin Luther
Image
We must meet hate with love. We must meet physical force with soul force.
Martin Luther
Image
You see then, that Diatribe truly possesses a free choice in her handling of Scriptures, so that words of one and the same type are for her obliged to prove endeavor in one place and freedom in another, exactly as she pleases.
Martin Luther
Image
Without images we can neither think nor understand anything.
Martin Luther
Image
Great God, what do I see and hear! The end of things created! The judge of mankind doth appear On clouds of glory seated! The trumpet sounds the graves restore, The dead which they contained before Prepare, my soul, to meet Him!
Martin Luther
Image
I pray that God would open the mouth in me and the heart in you and that he would be the teacher in the midst of us who may in us speak and hear.
Martin Luther
Image
A woman has no control over herself.
Martin Luther
Image
Believest thou? then thou wilt speak boldly. Speakest thou boldy? then thou must suffer. Sufferest thou? then thou shalt be comforted. For faith, the confession thereof, and the cross do follow one another.
Martin Luther
