Quote

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

More quotes by Martin Luther

Image
I have always loved music whoso has skill in this art, is of a good temperament, fitted for all things. We must teach music in schools a schoolmaster ought to have skill in music, or I would not regard him neither should we ordain young men as preachers, unless they have been well exercised in music
Martin Luther
Image
It is a miracle how God has so long preserved His Book! How great and glorious it is to have the Word of God!
Martin Luther
Image
Pray, and let God worry.
Martin Luther
Image
To be a Christian without prayer is no more possible than to be alive without breathing.
Martin Luther
Image
We must beat the Gospel into peoples' heads incessantly because it's the one thing we're prone to forget.
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
God wants our conscience to be certain and sure that it is pleasing to Him. This cannot be done if the conscience is led by its own feelings, but only if it relies on the Word of God.
Martin Luther
Image
Nothing is easier than sinning.
Martin Luther
Image
The will of man without grace is not free, but is enslaved, and that too with its own consent.
Martin Luther
Image
The curses of the ungodly are more pleasing to God's ears than the hallelujahs of the pious
Martin Luther
Image
Now the Church is not wood and stone, but the company of believing people one must hold to them, and see how they believe, live and teach.
Martin Luther
Image
None can believe how powerful prayer is, and what it is able to effect, but those who have learned it by experience.
Martin Luther
Image
There never yet have been, nor are there now, too many good books.
Martin Luther
Image
Indeed, to spur your Baal to action, I will taunt and challenge you ... to create as much as a single frog in the name and by the power of free choice, though the heathen and ungodly magicians in Egypt were able to create many.... I will not set you the heavy task of creating lice, which they could not produce either
Martin Luther
Image
All who call on God in true faith, earnestly from the heart, will certainly be heard, and will receive what they have asked and desired.
Martin Luther
Image
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
The worship of God....should be free at table, in private rooms, downstairs, upstairs, at home, abroad, in all places, by all peoples, at all times
Martin Luther
Image
God freely forgives us on account of Christnot on account of our works, contrition, confession, or satisfactions.
Martin Luther
Image
Who waits until circumstances completely favor his undertaking, will never accomplish anything.
Martin Luther
Image
He who loses sight of the word of God, falls into despair the voice of heaven no longer sustains him he follows only the disorderly tendency of his heart.
Martin Luther
