More quotes by Martin Luther

Image
The fewer the words, the better the prayer.
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
After theology I give to music the highest place and the greatest honor.
Martin Luther
Image
God writes the Gospel not in the Bible alone, but also on trees, and in the flowers and clouds and stars.
Martin Luther
Image
I have before me God's Word which cannot fail, nor can the gates of hell prevail against it thereby will I remain, though the whole world be against me.
Martin Luther
Image
Who waits until circumstances completely favor his undertaking, will never accomplish anything.
Martin Luther
Image
A man must completely despair of himself in order to become fit to obtain the grace of Christ.
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
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
He who is well acquainted with the text of scripture, is a distinguished theologian. For a Bible passage or text is of more value than the comments of four authors.
Martin Luther
Image
Many sweat to reconcile St Paul and St James, but in vain. 'Faith justifies' and 'faith does not justify' contradict each other flatly. If any one can harmonize them I will give him my doctor's hood and let him call me a fool.
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
A theologian is born by living, nay dying and being damned, not by thinking, reading, or speculating.
Martin Luther
Image
In a mouse we admire God's creation and craft work. The same may be said about flies.
Martin Luther
Image
The human heart is like a millstone in a mill: when you put wheat under it, it turns and grinds and bruises the wheat to flour if you put no wheat, it still grinds on, but then 'tis itself it grinds and wears away.
Martin Luther
Image
Faith is the master, and reason the maid-servant.
Martin Luther
Image
It seems to me that the most delightful walk of life is to be found in a household of moderate means, to live there with an obliging spouse and to be satisfied with little.
Martin Luther
Image
The whole Turkish empire is nothing else but a crust cast by Heaven's great Housekeeper to His dogs.
Martin Luther
Image
A Christian is never in a state of completion but always in a process of becoming.
Martin Luther
Image
If it were art to overcome heresy with fire, the executioners would be the most learned doctors on earth.
