Quote

For who in fact seeks the salvation of souls through indulgences, and not instead money for his coffers? This is evident from the way indulgences are preached . For the commissioners and preachers do nothing but extol indulgences and incite.

More quotes by Martin Luther

Image
God has set the type of marriage through creation. Each creature seeks its perfection in another.
Martin Luther
Image
The state of matrimony is the chief in the world after religion but people shun it because of its inconveniences, like one who, running out of the rain, falls into the river.
Martin Luther
Image
I have before me God's Word which cannot fail, nor can the gates of hell prevail against it thereby will I remain, though the whole world be against me.
Martin Luther
Image
Some people need a fig-leaf on their mouths.
Martin Luther
Image
As long as there is poverty in this world, no man can be totally rich even if he has a billion dollars.
Martin Luther
Image
The winds are nothing else but good or bad spirits. Hark! how the Devil is puffing and blowing.
Martin Luther
Image
Without images we can neither think nor understand anything.
Martin Luther
Image
The heart overflows with gladness, and leaps and dances for the joy it has found in God. In this experience the Holy Spirit is active, and has taught us in the flash of a moment the deep secret of joy. You will have as much joy and laughter in life as you have faith in God.
Martin Luther
Image
No one would be happier than Luther to be commended by the testimony of the time that he had been neither slack nor deceitful in maintaining the course of truth, but had shown quite enough and even too much vehemence.
Martin Luther
Image
But the Jews are so hardened that they listen to nothing though overcome by testimonies they yield not an inch. It is a pernicious race, oppressing all men by their usury and rapine. If they give a prince or magistrate a thousand florins, they extort twenty thousand from the subjects in payment. We must ever keep on guard against them.
Martin Luther
Image
I cannot and will not recant anything, for to go against conscience is neither right nor safe. Here I stand, I can do no other, so help me God. Amen.
Martin Luther
Image
The body they may kill: God’s truth abideth still, His Kingdom is forever.
Martin Luther
Image
Let him who wants a true church cling to the Word by which everything is upheld.
Martin Luther
Image
I have so much to do today, I'll need to spend another hour on my knees.
Martin Luther
Image
It is not I that smite, stab, and slay, but God and my prince, for my hand and my body are now their servants.
Martin Luther
Image
There is on earth among all dangers no more dangerous thing than a richly endowed and adroit reason...Reason must be deluded, blinded, and destroyed.
Martin Luther
Image
Twas a special gift of God that speech was given to mankind for through the Word, and not by force, wisdom governs.
Martin Luther
Image
Let whatsoever will or can befall me, I will surely cleave by my sweet Savior Christ Jesus, for in Him am I baptized I can neither do nor know anything but only what He has taught me.
Martin Luther
Image
I should have no compassion on these witches I should burn them all.
Martin Luther
Image
In Switzerland, on a high mountain, not far from Lucerne, there is a lake they call Pilate's Pond, which the Devil has fixed upon as one of the chief residences of his evil spirits.
