More quotes by Martin Luther

Image
Bewilderment is the true comprehension. Not to know where you are going is the true knowledge.
Martin Luther
Image
Truly speech has wonderful strength and power, that through a mere word, proceeding out of the mouth of a poor human creature, the devil, that so proud and powerful spirit, should be driven away, shamed and confounded.
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
What shall we do with...the Jews?...set fire to their synagogues or schools and bury and cover with dirt whatever will not burn, so that no man will ever again see a stone or cinder of them.
Martin Luther
Image
I feel much freer now that I am certain the pope is the Antichrist.
Martin Luther
Image
A Christian is a perfectly free lord of all, subject to none. A Christian is a perfectly dutiful servant of all, subject of all, subject to all.
Martin Luther
Image
Of all deadly sins, this is the most deadly, namely, that any one should think he is not guilty of a damnable and deadly sin before God.
Martin Luther
Image
We may search long to find where God is, but we shall find Him in those who keep the words of Christ. For the Lord Christ saith, If any man love me, he will keep my words and we will make our abode with him.
Martin Luther
Image
I have no use for cranks who despise music, because it is a gift of God. Music drives away the Devil and makes people joyful they forget thereby all wrath, unchastity, arrogance, and the like. Next after theology, I give to music the highest place and the greatest honor.
Martin Luther
Image
Temptations, of course, cannot be avoided, but because we cannot prevent the birds from flying over our heads, there is no need that we should let them nest in our hair.
Martin Luther
Image
Whoever does not know God hidden in suffering does not know God at all.
Martin Luther
Image
Whatever man loves, that is his god. For he carries it in his heart he goes about with it night and day he sleeps and wakes with it, be it what it may - wealth or self, pleasure or renown.
Martin Luther
Image
What are the things we should pray for? First, our personal troubles...The greatest trouble we can ever know is thinking that we have no trouble for we can become hard-hearted and insensible to what is inside of us.
Martin Luther
Image
A theologian is born by living, nay dying and being damned, not by thinking, reading, or speculating.
Martin Luther
Image
In a delightful garden, sowing, planting or digging are not hardship but are done with a zeal and a certain pleasure.
Martin Luther
Image
You are not only responsible for what you say, but also for what you do not say
Martin Luther
Image
The mystery of the humanity of Christ, that he sunk himself into our flesh, is beyond all human understanding.
Martin Luther
Image
If a man serves not God only, then surely he serves the devil.
Martin Luther
Image
The saved are singled out not by their own merits, but by the grace of the Mediator.
Martin Luther
Image
We conclude, therefore, that a Christian lives not in himself, but in Christ and in his neighbor. Otherwise he is not a Christian. He lives in Christ through faith, in his neighbor through love. By faith he is caught up beyond himself into God. By love he descends beneath himself into his neighbor.
Martin Luther
