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

More quotes by Martin Luther
What is it to serve God and to do His will? Nothing else than to show mercy to our neighbor. For it is our own neighbor who needs our service God in heaven needs it not.
Martin Luther
He that will maintain that man's free will is able to do or work anything in spiritual cases, be they never so small, denies Christ.
Martin Luther
Let all the 'free-will' in the world do all it can with all its strength it will never give rise to a single instance of ability to avoid being hardened if God does not give the Spirit, or of meriting mercy if it is left to its own strength.
Martin Luther
What man, if he were God, would humble himself to lie in the feedbox of a donkey or to hang upon a cross?
Martin Luther
All which happens through the whole world happens through hope. No husbandman would sow a grain of corn if he did not hope it would spring up and bring forth the ear how much more we are helped on by hope in the eternal life.
Martin Luther
As for the demented, I hold it certain that all beings deprived of reason are thus afflicted only by the Devil.
Martin Luther
Superstition, idolatry, and hypocrisy have ample wages, but truth goes a begging.
Martin Luther
Everything is from God himself, both commandment and fulfillment. He alone commands he alone fulfills.
Martin Luther
It is not the imitation that makes sons it is sonship that makes imitators.
Martin Luther
Faith is the master, and reason the maid-servant.
Martin Luther
Can he who understands not God's word, understand God's works?
Martin Luther
Christians are to be taught that the pope would and should wish to give of his own money, even though he had to sell the basilica of St. Peter, to many of those from whom certain hawkers of indulgences cajole money.
Martin Luther
To pray well is the better half of study.
Martin Luther
I refuse to accept the idea that man is mere flotsam and jetsam in the river of life, unable to influence the unfolding events which surround him. I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality.
Martin Luther
Without images we can neither think nor understand anything.
Martin Luther
Every book is a great action and every great action is a book!
Martin Luther
Many pass for saints on earth whose souls are in hell.
Martin Luther
You should point to the whole man Jesus and say, That is God.
Martin Luther
The law works fear and wrath grace works hope and mercy.
Martin Luther
For they who think they make an end of temptation by yeilding to it, only set themselves on fire the more.
Martin Luther
