Our Lord God doeth work like a printer who setteth the letters backwards we see and feel well his setting, but we shall see the print yonder - in the life to come.

More quotes by Martin Luther

Image
...Hope endures and overcomes misfortune and evil.
Martin Luther
Image
Nothing in the world causes so much misery as uncertainty.
Martin Luther
Image
Feelings come, and feelings go, and feelings are deceiving. My warrant is the Word of God, naught else is worth believing.
Martin Luther
Image
When we hear that Christ was made a curse for us, let us believe it with joy and assurance. By faith Christ changes places with us. He gets our sins, we get His holiness.
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
The authority of Scripture is greater than the comprehension of the whole of man's reason.
Martin Luther
Image
Every man must decide whether he will walk in the creative light of altruism or the darkness of destructive selfishness. This is the judgment. Life's persistent and most urgent question is 'What are you doing for others?'
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
What harm would it do, if a man told a good strong lie for the sake of the good.
Martin Luther
Image
I see a word that hates evil more than it loves good.
Martin Luther
Image
No gown worse becomes a woman than the desire to be wise.
Martin Luther
Image
Let us not lose the Bible, but with diligence, in fear and invocation of God, read and preach it. While that remains and flourishes, all prospers with the state 'tis head and empress of all arts and faculties. Let but divinity fall, and I would not give a straw for the rest.
Martin Luther
Image
A theologian is born by living, nay dying and being damned, not by thinking, reading, or speculating.
Martin Luther
Image
So tenaciously should we cling to the world revealed by the Gospel, that were I to see all the Angels of Heaven coming down to me to tell me something different, not only would I not be tempted to doubt a single syllable, but I would shut my eyes and stop my ears, for they would not deserve to be either seen or heard.
Martin Luther
Image
Two devils rose from the water, and flew off through the air, crying, 'Oh, oh, oh!' and turning one over another, in sportive mockery.
Martin Luther
Image
First I shake the whole Apple tree, that the ripest might fall. Then I climb the tree and shake each limb, and then each branch and then each twig, and then I look under each leaf.
Martin Luther
Image
Heretics cannot themselves appear good unless they depict the Church as evil, false, and mendacious. They alone wish to be esteemed as the good, but the Church must be made to appear evil in every respect.
Martin Luther
Image
We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation.
Martin Luther
Image
Music is one of the fairest and most glorious gifts of God.
Martin Luther
Image
When I was a child there were many witches, and they bewitched both cattle and men, especially children.
Martin Luther
