Quote

Man is man because he is free to operate within a framework of his destiny. He is free to deliberate, to make decisions, and to choose between alternatives. He is distinguished from animals by his freedom to do evil or to do good and to walk the high road of beauty or tread the low road of ugly degeneracy.

More quotes by 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
Medicine makes people ill, mathematics make them sad and theology makes them sinful.
Martin Luther
Image
Faith is a free surrenderand a joyous wager on the unseen, unknown, untested goodness of God.
Martin Luther
Image
To be a Christian without prayer is no more possible than to be alive without breathing.
Martin Luther
Image
For God is wholly present in all creation, in every corner, he is behind you and before you. Do you think he is sleeping on a pillow in heaven? He is watching over you and protecting you.
Martin Luther
Image
A Christian has no need of any law in order to be saved, since through faith we are free from every law. Thus all the acts of a Christian are done spontaneously, out of a sense of pure liberty.
Martin Luther
Image
My temptations have been my Masters of Divinity.
Martin Luther
Image
Can he who understands not God's word, understand God's works?
Martin Luther
Image
If you want to interpret well and confidently, set Christ before you, for He is the man to whom it all applies, every bit of it.
Martin Luther
Image
Ultimately, however, conflict lies not in objective reality, but in people's heads. Truth is simple one argument - perhaps a good one, perhaps not - for dealing with the difference. The difference itself exists because it exists in their thinking.
Martin Luther
Image
You have as much laughter as you have faith.
Martin Luther
Image
The truth of the matter is rather as Christ says, He who is not with me is against me. ... He does not say He who is not with me is not against me either, but merely neutral.
Martin Luther
Image
God scorns and mocks the devil, in setting under his very nose a poor, weak, human creature, mere dust and ashes, yet endowed with the firstfruits of the Spirit, against whom the devil can do nothing.
Martin Luther
Image
How can a reason which hates God be called sound?
Martin Luther
Image
Prayer is a powerful thing for God has bound and tied himself thereunto.
Martin Luther
Image
Many of the ugly pages of American history have been obscured and forgotten
Martin Luther
Image
Christ is no Moses, no exactor, no giver of laws, but a giver of grace, a Savior he is infinite mercy and goodness, freely and bountifully given to us.
Martin Luther
Image
He who loses sight of the word of God, falls into despair the voice of heaven no longer sustains him he follows only the disorderly tendency of his heart.
Martin Luther
Image
Unthankfulness is theft.
Martin Luther
Image
Christ designed that the day of his coming should be hid from us, that being in suspense, we might be as it were upon the watch.
