Martin Luther
The church that preaches the gospel in all of its fullness, except as it applies to the great social ills of the day, is failing to preach the gospel.
Martin Luther
I should have no compassion on these witches I should burn them all.
Martin Luther
The Devil, it is true, is not exactly a doctor who has taken degrees, but he is very learned, very expert for all that. He has not been carrying on his business during thousands of years for nothing.
Martin Luther
True faith will no more fail to produce [good works] than the sun can cease to give light.
Martin Luther
