Drive them [Jews] like mad dogs from our land... let not one of them live.
Martin Luther
Image
A theologian is born by living, nay dying and being damned, not by thinking, reading, or speculating.
Martin Luther
Image
Nothing in the world causes so much misery as uncertainty.
Martin Luther
Image
As concerning faith we ought to be invincible, and more hard, if it might be, than the adamant stone but as touching charity, we ought to be soft, and more flexible than the reed or leaf that is shaken with the wind, and ready to yield to everything.
Martin Luther
Image
A simple man with Scripture has more authority than the Pope or a council.
Martin Luther
Image
And though this world with devils filled, Should threaten to undo us, We will not fear, for God hath willed His truth to triumph through us.

Let all the 'free-will' in the world do all it can with all its strength it will never give rise to a single instance of ability to avoid being hardened if God does not give the Spirit, or of meriting mercy if it is left to its own strength.
Martin Luther
Image
Great God, what do I see and hear! The end of things created! The judge of mankind doth appear On clouds of glory seated! The trumpet sounds the graves restore, The dead which they contained before Prepare, my soul, to meet Him!
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
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
True faith will no more fail to produce [good works] than the sun can cease to give light.
Martin Luther
Image
God has set the type of marriage through creation. Each creature seeks its perfection in another.
Martin Luther
Image
No man should be alone when he opposes Satan. The Church and the ministry of the Word were instituted for this purpose, that hands may be joined together and one may help another.
Martin Luther
Image
The saved are singled out not by their own merits, but by the grace of the Mediator.
Martin Luther
Image
You see then, that Diatribe truly possesses a free choice in her handling of Scriptures, so that words of one and the same type are for her obliged to prove endeavor in one place and freedom in another, exactly as she pleases.
Martin Luther
Image
He who loves not women, wine, and song Remains a fool his whole life long.
Martin Luther
Image
It is the duty of every Christian to be Christ to his neighbor.
Martin Luther
Image
I was increasingly compelled to see the war as an enemy of the poor and to attack it as such.
Martin Luther
