Those with prodigious skill in music are better suited for all things.
Martin Luther
Image
I cannot choose but adhere to the word of God, which has possession of my conscience nor can I possibly, nor will I even make any recantation, since it is neither safe nor honest to act contrary to conscience! Here I stand I cannot do otherwise, so help me God! Amen.
Martin Luther
Image
I have undertaken to translate the Bible into German. This was good for me otherwise I might have died in the mistaken notion that I was a learned fellow.
Martin Luther
Image
Let the wife make the husband glad to come home, and let him make her sorry to see him leave.
Martin Luther
Image
One Book is enough, but a thousand books is not too many!
Martin Luther

God foreknows nothing by contingency, but that He foresees, purposes, and does all things according to His immutable, eternal, and infallible will. By this thunderbolt, Free-will is thrown prostrate, and utterly dashed to pieces.
Martin Luther
Image
Whatever you love most, that is your god.
Martin Luther

One learns more of Christ in being married and rearing children than in several lifetimes spent in study in a monastery.
Martin Luther
Image
Strange, though I am saved from sin, I am not saved from sinning.
Martin Luther
Image
Some plague the people with too long sermons for the faculty of listening is a tender thing, and soon becomes weary and satiated.
Martin Luther
Image
To gather with God's people in united adoration of the Father is as necessary to the Christian life as prayer.
Martin Luther
Image
The certain mark by which a Christian community can be recognized is the preaching of the gospel in its purity.
Martin Luther
Image
The human heart is like a millstone in a mill: when you put wheat under it, it turns and grinds and bruises the wheat to flour if you put no wheat, it still grinds on, but then 'tis itself it grinds and wears away.
Martin Luther
Image
At the last, when we die, we have the dear angels for our escort on the way. They who can grasp the whole world in their hands can surely also guard our souls, that they make that last journey safely.
Martin Luther
Image
God's entire divine nature is wholly and entirely in all creatures, more deeply, more inwardly, more present than the creature is to itself.
Martin Luther
Image
Your God is altogether too human.
Martin Luther
Image
The dog is the most faithful of animals and would be much esteemed were it not so common. Our Lord God has made His greatest gifts the commonest.
Martin Luther
Image
The Holy Spirit has a way of His own to say much in few words.
Martin Luther
Image
An earthly kingdom cannot exist without inequality of persons. Some must be free, some serfs, some rulers, some subjects.
Martin Luther
Image
As for the demented, I hold it certain that all beings deprived of reason are thus afflicted only by the Devil.
