Image
Leave the ass burdened with laws behind in the valley. But your conscience, let it ascend with Isaac into the mountain.
Martin Luther
Image
Music is to be praised as second only to the Word of God because by her all the emotions are swayed. That is why there are so many songs and psalms. This precious gift has been bestowed on men alone to remind them that they are created to praise and magnify the Lord.
Martin Luther
Image
The Bible is the book that makes fools of the wise of this world it is only understood by the plain and simple hearted.
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
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
There is no justification without sanctification, no forgiveness without renewal of life, no real faith from which the fruits of new obedience do not grow.
Martin Luther
Image
Father and Mother are apostles, bishops and priests to their children, for it is they who make them acquainted with the gospel.
Martin Luther
Image
An earthly kingdom cannot exist without inequality of persons. Some must be free, some serfs, some rulers, some subjects.
Martin Luther
Image
Bewilderment is the true comprehension. Not to know where you are going is the true knowledge.
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
I have undertaken to translate the Bible into German. This was good for me otherwise I might have died in the mistaken notion that I was a learned fellow.
Martin Luther
Image
Sleep is a most useful and most salutary operation of nature. Scarcely any minor annoyance angers me more than the being suddenly awakened out of a pleasant slumber. I understand that in Italy they torture poor people by depriving them of sleep. `Tis a torture that cannot long be endured.
Martin Luther
Image
All which happens through the whole world happens through hope. No husbandman would sow a grain of corn if he did not hope it would spring up and bring forth the ear how much more we are helped on by hope in the eternal life.
Martin Luther
Image
Married love burns as fire, and seeks nothing more than the mate. It says, I want only you
Martin Luther
Image
He that will maintain that man's free will is able to do or work anything in spiritual cases, be they never so small, denies Christ.
Martin Luther
Image
The faith towards God in Christ must be sure and steadfast, that it may solace and make glad the conscience, and put it to rest. When a man has this certainty, he has overcome the serpent but if he be doubtful of the doctrine, it is for him very dangerous to dispute with the devil.
Martin Luther
Image
A penny saved is of more value than a penny paid out.
Martin Luther
Image
Whoever sees Christ as a mirror of the Father's heart, actually walks through the world with new eyes.
Martin Luther
Image
The Bible is alive, it speaks to me it has feet, it runs after me it has hands, it lays hold of me.
Martin Luther
Image
The Holy Spirit has a way of His own to say much in few words.
