More quotes by Martin Luther

Image
The devil flees before the sound of music almost as much as before the Word of God.
Martin Luther
Image
If any earthly institution or custom conflicts with God's will, it is your Christian duty to oppose it. You must never allow the transitory, evanescent demands of man-made institutions to take precedence over the eternal demands of the Almighty God.
Martin Luther
Image
A lie is like a snowball: the further you roll it the bigger it becomes.
Martin Luther
Image
In a delightful garden, sowing, planting or digging are not hardship but are done with a zeal and a certain pleasure.
Martin Luther
Image
There are three conversions necessary (for the Christian life): the conversion of the heart, the mind, and the purse.
Martin Luther
Image
We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation.
Martin Luther
Image
A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing: our helper He amid the flood of mortal ills prevailing.
Martin Luther
Image
Whoever wishes to be a Christian, let him pluck out the eyes of his reason.
Martin Luther
Image
A person whodoes not regard music as a marvelous creation of God, must be a clodhopper indeed and does not deserve to be called a human being he should be permitted to hear nothing but the braying of asses and the grunting of hogs.
Martin Luther
Image
God's entire divine nature is wholly and entirely in all creatures, more deeply, more inwardly, more present than the creature is to itself.
Martin Luther
Image
Being by his faith replaced afresh in paradise and created anew, he (the believer)does not need works for his justification, but that he may not be idle, but that he may exercise his own body and preserve it. His works are to be done freely, with the sole object of pleasing God.
Martin Luther
Image
Put thou thy trust in God In duty's path go on Fix on His word thy steadfast eye So shall thy work be done.
Martin Luther
Image
When asked what he would do if he knew the world would end tomorrow, Martin Luther said, I would plant a tree.
Martin Luther
Image
Let whatsoever will or can befall me, I will surely cleave by my sweet Savior Christ Jesus, for in Him am I baptized I can neither do nor know anything but only what He has taught me.
Martin Luther
Image
...Hope endures and overcomes misfortune and evil.
Martin Luther
Image
God does not love sinners because they are attractive sinners are attractive to God because he loves them.
Martin Luther
Image
How often have not the demons called 'Nix,' drawn women and girls into the water, and there had commerce with them, with fearful consequences.
Martin Luther
Image
Superstition, idolatry, and hypocrisy have ample wages, but truth goes a begging.
Martin Luther
Image
God does not work salvation for fictitious sinners. Be a sinner and sin vigorously... Do not for a moment imagine that this life is the abiding place of justice sin must be committed.
Martin Luther
Image
God's love gives in such a way that it flows from a Father's heart, the well-spring of all good. The heart of the giver makes the gift dear and precious as among ourselves we say of even a trifling gift, It comes from a hand we love, and look not so much at the gift as at the heart.
Martin Luther
