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
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
God's love does not love that which is worthy of being loved, but it creates that which is worthy of being loved.
Martin Luther
Image
If anyone could have gained heaven as a monk, then I would indeed have been among them.
Martin Luther
Image
I had rather be in hell with Christ, than be in heaven without him.
Martin Luther
Image
God is entirely and personally present in the wilderness, in the garden, in the field.
Martin Luther
Image
The devil won't stay where there is music.
Martin Luther
Image
The curses of the ungodly are more pleasing to God's ears than the hallelujahs of the pious
Martin Luther
Image
If you want to change the world, pick up your pen and write.
Martin Luther
Image
[Our] plan is to follow the example of the prophets and the ancient fathers of the church, and to compose psalms...so that the Word of God may be among the people also in the form of music.
Martin Luther
Image
No one can believe how powerful prayer is and what it can effect, except those who have learned it by experience. Whenever I have prayed earnestly, I have been heard and have obtained more than I prayed for. God sometimes delays, but He always comes.
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
Music is to be praised as second only to the Word of God because by her all the emotions are swayed. That is why there are so many songs and psalms. This precious gift has been bestowed on men alone to remind them that they are created to praise and magnify the Lord.
Martin Luther
Image
The first duty of the gospel preacher is to declare God's law and to show the nature of sin.
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
To worship God in spirit is the service and homage of the heart, and implies fear of God and trust in Him.
Martin Luther
Image
If God is to create or to preserve a creature, God must be present and must make and preserve God's creation both in its innermost and outermost aspects.
Martin Luther
Image
After theology I give to music the highest place and the greatest honor.
Martin Luther
Image
The Jews are the most miserable people on earth. They are plagued everywhere, and scattered about all countries, having no certain resting place. They sit as on a wheelbarrow, without a country, people or government... but they are rightly served, for seeing they refused have Christ and his gospel, instead of freedom they must have servitude.
Martin Luther
Image
Whoever sees Christ as a mirror of the Father's heart, actually walks through the world with new eyes.
Martin Luther
Image
In the treatment of poverty nationally, one fact stands out: there are twice as many white poor as Negro poor in the United States. Therefore I will not dwell on the experiences of poverty that derive from racial discrimination, but will discuss the poverty that affects white and Negro alike.
