More quotes by Martin Luther

Image
One Book is enough, but a thousand books is not too many!
Martin Luther
Image
Christ designed that the day of his coming should be hid from us, that being in suspense, we might be as it were upon the watch.
Martin Luther
Image
When schools flourish, all flourishes.
Martin Luther
Image
Christians are to be taught that the pope would and should wish to give of his own money, even though he had to sell the basilica of St. Peter, to many of those from whom certain hawkers of indulgences cajole money.
Martin Luther
Image
The whole being of any Christian is faith and love. Faith brings the person to God, love brings the person to people.
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
Those speak foolishly who ascribe their anger or their impatience to such as offend them or to tribulation. Tribulation does not make people impatient, but proves that they are impatient. So everyone may learn from tribulation how his heart is constituted.
Martin Luther
Image
God is a blank sheet upon which nothing is found but what you yourself have written.
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
But the Jews are so hardened that they listen to nothing though overcome by testimonies they yield not an inch. It is a pernicious race, oppressing all men by their usury and rapine. If they give a prince or magistrate a thousand florins, they extort twenty thousand from the subjects in payment. We must ever keep on guard against them.
Martin Luther
Image
When the Scripture speaks, God speaks
Martin Luther
Image
Maternity is a glorious thing, since all mankind has been conceived, born, and nourished of women. All human laws should encourage the multiplication of families.
Martin Luther
Image
A preacher should have the skill to teach the unlearned simply roundly, and plainly for teaching is of more importance than exhorting.
Martin Luther
Image
For God is wholly present in all creation, in every corner, he is behind you and before you. Do you think he is sleeping on a pillow in heaven? He is watching over you and protecting you.
Martin Luther
Image
I think that we've got to see that a riot is the language of the unheard. And, what is it that America has failed to hear? It has failed to hear that the economic plight of the Negro poor has worsened over the last few years.
Martin Luther
Image
What you do in your house is worth as much as if you did it up in heaven for our Lord God. We should accustom ourselves to think of our position and work as sacred and well-pleasing to God, not on account of the position and work, but on account of the word and faith from which the obedience and work flow.
Martin Luther
Image
The Holy Ghost must here be our only master and tutor.
Martin Luther
Image
For from the error of not knowing, or understanding, what sin is, there necessarily arises another error, that people cannot know or understand what grace is.
Martin Luther
Image
I would rather obey than work miracles.
Martin Luther
Image
Human reason is like a drunken man on horseback set it up on one side, and it tumbles over on the other
