More quotes by Martin Luther

Image
Reason must be deluded, blinded, and destroyed. Faith must trample underfoot all reason, sense, and understanding, and whatever it sees must be put out of sight and ... know nothing but the word of God.
Martin Luther
Image
The law works fear and wrath grace works hope and mercy.
Martin Luther
Image
Medicine makes people ill, mathematics make them sad and theology makes them sinful.
Martin Luther
Image
Music is a fair and glorious gift of God. I am strongly persuaded that after theology, there is no art which can be placed on the level with music.
Martin Luther
Image
The body they may kill: God’s truth abideth still, His Kingdom is forever.
Martin Luther
Image
I should have no compassion on these witches I should burn them all.
Martin Luther
Image
The quest for glory can never be satisfied, it must be extinguished.
Martin Luther
Image
In many countries there are particular places to which devils more especially resort. In Prussia there is an infinite number of evil spirits.
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
I frankly confess that even if it were possible I should not wish to have free choice given to me, or to have anything left in my own hands by which I might strive for salvation.
Martin Luther
Image
Sin is essentially a departure from God.
Martin Luther
Image
Through faith we are restored to paradise and created anew. We have no need of works in order to be righteous however, in order to avoid idleness and so that the body might be cared for an disciplined, works are done freely to please God.
Martin Luther
Image
In Switzerland, on a high mountain, not far from Lucerne, there is a lake they call Pilate's Pond, which the Devil has fixed upon as one of the chief residences of his evil spirits.
Martin Luther
Image
Nothing is more beautiful in the eyes of God than a soul that loves to hear His Word.
Martin Luther
Image
When Eve was brought unto Adam, he became filled with the Holy Spirit, and gave her the most sanctified, the most glorious of appellations. He called, her Eva--that is to say, the Mother of All. He did not style her wife, but simply mother--mother of all living creatures. In this consists the glory and the most precious ornament of woman.
Martin Luther
Image
He who hears this name [God] from a Jew must inform the authorities, or else throw sow dung at him when he sees him and chase him away.
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
The secret of contentment is the realization that life is a gift, not a right. Next to faith this is the highest art - to be content with the calling in which God has placed you.
Martin Luther
Image
Whatever man loves, that is his god. For he carries it in his heart he goes about with it night and day he sleeps and wakes with it, be it what it may - wealth or self, pleasure or renown.
Martin Luther
Image
For some years now I have read through the Bible twice every year. If you picture the Bible to be a mighty tree and every word a little branch, I have shaken every one of these branches because I wanted to know what it was and what it meant.
