Quote

At Poltersberg, there is a lake similarly cursed. If you throw a stone into it, a dreadful storm immediately arises, and the whole neighboring district quakes to its centre. 'Tis the devils kept prisoner there.

More quotes by Martin Luther

Image
God does not love sinners because they are attractive sinners are attractive to God because he loves them.
Martin Luther
Image
A unjust law, is no law at all.
Martin Luther
Image
Human nature is like a drunk peasant. Lift him into the saddle on one side, over he topples on the other side.
Martin Luther
Image
The Bible is the proper book for men. There the truth is distinguished from error far more clearly than anywhere else, and one finds something new in it every day. For twenty-eight years, since I became a doctor, I have now constantly read and preached the Bible and yet I have not exhausted it but find something new in it every day.
Martin Luther
Image
The devil and temptations also do give occasion unto us somewhat to learn and understand the Scriptures, by experience and practice. Without trials and temptations we should never understand anything thereof no, not although we diligently read and heard the same.
Martin Luther
Image
Cannons and fire-arms are cruel and damnable machines I believe them to have been the direct suggestion of the Devil. If Adam had seen in a vision the horrible instruments his children were to invent, he would have died of grief.
Martin Luther
Image
Strange, though I am saved from sin, I am not saved from sinning.
Martin Luther
Image
Those with prodigious skill in music are better suited for all things.
Martin Luther
Image
Count it one of the highest virtues upon earth to educate faithfully the children of others, which so few, and scarcely any, do by their own.
Martin Luther
Image
If you want to change the world, pick up your pen and write.
Martin Luther
Image
The best way to get rid of the Devil, if you cannot kill it with the words of Holy Scripture, is to rail at and mock him. Music, too, is very good music is hateful to him, and drives him far away.
Martin Luther
Image
Faith is a living, daring confidence in God's grace, so sure and certain that the believer would stake his life on it a thousand times.
Martin Luther
Image
The true despisers of the world are the people who accept what God sends them, gratefully use all things when they have them, and gladly do without them if God takes them away
Martin Luther
Image
How can a reason which hates God be called sound?
Martin Luther
Image
A man must completely despair of himself in order to become fit to obtain the grace of Christ.
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
If we Christians would join the Wise Men, we must close our eyes to all that glitters before the world and look rather on the despised and foolish things, help the poor, comfort the despised, and aid the neighbor in his need.
Martin Luther
Image
True humility does not know that it is humble. If it did, it would be proud from the contemplation of so fine a virtue.
Martin Luther
Image
Be a sinner, and let your sins be strong, but let your trust in Christ be stronger, and rejoice in Christ who is the victor over sin, death, and the world.
Martin Luther
Image
The Bible is the book that makes fools of the wise of this world it is only understood by the plain and simple hearted.
Martin Luther
