Martin Luther
Image
The prosperity of a country depends, not on the abundance of its revenues, nor on the strength of its fortifications, nor on the beauty of its public buildings but it consists in the number of its cultivated citizens, in its men of education, enlightenment and character.
Martin Luther
Image
One thing, and only one thing, is necessary for Christian life, righteousness, and freedom. That one thing is the most holy Word of God, the gospel of Christ.
Martin Luther
Image
Faith, like light, should always be simple and unbending while love, like warmth, should beam forth on every side, and bend to every necessity of our brethren.
Martin Luther
