If you want to change the world, pick up your pen and write.
Martin Luther
Image
Women should remain at home, sit still, keep house, and bear and bring up children...If a woman grows weary and, at last, dies from childbearing, it matters not. Let her die from bearing - she is there to do it.
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.
Martin Luther
Image
God scorns and mocks the devil, in setting under his very nose a poor, weak, human creature, mere dust and ashes, yet endowed with the firstfruits of the Spirit, against whom the devil can do nothing.
Martin Luther
Image
Twas a special gift of God that speech was given to mankind for through the Word, and not by force, wisdom governs.
Martin Luther
Image
After the devil himself, there is no worse folk than the pope and his followers.
Martin Luther
Image
We believe that the very beginning and end of salvation, and the sum of Christianity, consists of faith in Christ, who by His blood alone, and not by any works of ours, has put away sin, and destroyed the power of death.
Martin Luther
Image
...Hope endures and overcomes misfortune and evil.
Martin Luther
Image
All who call on God in true faith, earnestly from the heart, will certainly be heard, and will receive what they have asked and desired.
Martin Luther
Image
Justice is a temporary thing that must at last come to an end but the conscience is eternal and will never die.
Martin Luther
Image
When some say that good works are forbidden when we preach faith alone, it is as if I said to a sick man: If you had health, you would have the use of all your limbs but without health, the works of all your limbs are nothing and he wanted to infer that I had forbidden the works of all his limbs.
Martin Luther
Image
The devil is God's ape!
Martin Luther
Image
No man ought to lay a cross upon himself, or to adopt tribulation, as is done in popedom but if a cross or tribulation come upon him, then let him suffer it patiently, and know that it is good and profitable for him.
Martin Luther
Image
God freely forgives us on account of Christnot on account of our works, contrition, confession, or satisfactions.
Martin Luther
Image
In the midst of the affliction He counsels, strengthens confirms, nourishes, and favors us.... More over, when we have repented, He instantly remits the sins as well as the punishments. In the same manner parents ought to handle their children.
Martin Luther
Image
Nothing good ever comes of violence.
Martin Luther
Image
God creates out of nothing. Therefore, until a man is nothing, God can make nothing out of him.
Martin Luther
Image
The best way to get rid of the Devil, if you cannot kill it with the words of Holy Scripture, is to rail at and mock him. Music, too, is very good music is hateful to him, and drives him far away.
Martin Luther
Image
I am so busy now that if I did not spend three hours each day in prayer, I could not get through the day.
Martin Luther
Image
If we wish to wash our hands of the Jews blasphemy and not share in their guilt, we have to part company with them. They must be driven from our country.
Martin Luther
