Quote

The Bible is the proper book for men. There the truth is distinguished from error far more clearly than anywhere else, and one finds something new in it every day. For twenty-eight years, since I became a doctor, I have now constantly read and preached the Bible and yet I have not exhausted it but find something new in it every day.

There never yet have been, nor are there now, too many good books.
Martin Luther
Image
What would it matter if, for the sake of the Christian Church, one were to tell a big lie?
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
We know, on the authority of Moses, that longer than six thousand years the world did not exist.
Martin Luther
Image
Power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic.
Martin Luther
Image
Even if all the world were to combine forces, they could not bring about the conception of a single child in any woman's womb nor cause it to be born that is wholly the work of God.
Martin Luther
Image
The whole Turkish empire is nothing else but a crust cast by Heaven's great Housekeeper to His dogs.
Martin Luther
Image
The faith towards God in Christ must be sure and steadfast, that it may solace and make glad the conscience, and put it to rest. When a man has this certainty, he has overcome the serpent but if he be doubtful of the doctrine, it is for him very dangerous to dispute with the devil.
Martin Luther
Image
Whatever your heart clings to and confides in, that is really your God, your functional savior.
Martin Luther
Image
I refuse to accept the idea that man is mere flotsam and jetsam in the river of life, unable to influence the unfolding events which surround him. I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality.
Martin Luther
Image
Strange, though I am saved from sin, I am not saved from sinning.
Martin Luther
Image
Your God is altogether too human.
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
Undoubtedly they do more and viler things than those which we know and discover
Martin Luther
Image
Cannons and fire-arms are cruel and damnable machines I believe them to have been the direct suggestion of the Devil. If Adam had seen in a vision the horrible instruments his children were to invent, he would have died of grief.
Martin Luther
Image
I know that a Christian should be humble, but against the Pope I am going to be proud and say to him: You, Pope, I will not have you for my boss, for I am sure that my doctrine is divine.
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
The fruit does not make the tree good or bad but the tree itself is what determines the nature of the fruit. In the same way, a person first must be good or bad before doing a good or bad work.
Martin Luther
Image
The Devil fears the word of God, He can't bite it it breaks his teeth.
Martin Luther
Image
[The Psalms are] a Little Bible, wherein everything contained in the entire Bible is beautifully and briefly comprehended.
