More quotes by Martin Luther

Image
There is on earth among all dangers, no more dangerous thing than a richly endowed and adroid reason, especially if she enters into spiritual matters which concern the soul and God. For it is more possible to teach an ass to read than to blind such a reason and lead it right for reason must be deluded, blinded, and destroyed.
Martin Luther
Image
The true despisers of the world are the people who accept what God sends them, gratefully use all things when they have them, and gladly do without them if God takes them away
Martin Luther
Image
Over against the devil and his missionaries, the authors of false doctrines and sects, we ought to be like the Apostle, impatient, and rigorously condemnatory, as parents are with the dog that bites their little one, but the weeping child itself they soothe.
Martin Luther
Image
I have before me God's Word which cannot fail, nor can the gates of hell prevail against it thereby will I remain, though the whole world be against me.
Martin Luther
Image
If you young fellows were wise, the devil couldn't do anything to you, but since you aren't wise, you need us who are old.
Martin Luther
Image
I only ask in all kindness that the man who wishes at this time to have my books will by no means let them be a hindrance to his own study of the Scriptures, but read them as I read the orders and the ordures of the pope and the books of the sophists.
Martin Luther
Image
Justice is a temporary thing that must at last come to an end but the conscience is eternal and will never die.
Martin Luther
Image
I have so much to do today, I'll need to spend another hour on my knees.
Martin Luther
Image
Personally I declare that I owe the Pope no other obedience than that to Antichrist.
Martin Luther
Image
I cannot and will not recant anything, for to go against conscience is neither right nor safe. Here I stand, I can do no other, so help me God. Amen.
Martin Luther
Image
You should point to the whole man Jesus and say, That is God.
Martin Luther
Image
Heretics cannot themselves appear good unless they depict the Church as evil, false, and mendacious. They alone wish to be esteemed as the good, but the Church must be made to appear evil in every respect.
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
We should die relying on grace alone
Martin Luther
Image
Those who love music are gentle and honest in their tempers. I always loved music, and would not, for a great matter, be without the little skill which I possess in the art.
Martin Luther
Image
There is no justification without sanctification, no forgiveness without renewal of life, no real faith from which the fruits of new obedience do not grow.
Martin Luther
Image
It is a tremendously hard thing to pray aright, yea, it is verily the science of all sciences.
Martin Luther
Image
A gospel that doesn't deal with the issues of the day is not the gospel at all.
Martin Luther
Image
What man, if he were God, would humble himself to lie in the feedbox of a donkey or to hang upon a cross?
Martin Luther
Image
Faith is permitting ourselves to be seized by the things that we do not see.
Martin Luther
