Martin Luther

I have covenanted with my Lord that He should not send visions, or dreams or even angels! I am content with this gift of the Scriptures, which teaches and supplies all that is necessary both for this life and that which is to come.

Every book is a great action and every great action is a book!

There never yet have been, nor are there now, too many good books.

Everything that is done in this world is done by hope.

My heart, which is so full to overflowing, has often been solaced and refreshed by music when sick and weary.

There are two days in my calendar: This day and that Day.

We are saved by faith alone, but the faith that saves is never alone.

This life therefore is not righteousness, but growth in righteousness, not health, but healing, not being but becoming, not rest but exercise. We are not yet what we shall be, but we are growing toward it, the process is not yet finished, but it is going on, this is not the end, but it is the road. All does not yet gleam in glory, but all is being purified.

Grant that I may not pray alone with the mouth help me that I may pray from the depths of my heart.

Every man must do two things alone he must do his own believing and his own dying.

When I am angry I can pray well and preach well.

I shall never be a heretic; I may err in dispute, but I do not wish to decide anything finally; on the other hand, I am not bound by the opinions of men.

Peace is more important than all justice; and peace was not made for the sake of justice, but justice for the sake of peace.

Let the wife make the husband glad to come home, and let him make her sorry to see him leave.

Reason is the enemy of faith.

If he have faith, the believer cannot be restrained. He betrays himself. He breaks out. He confesses and teaches this gospel to the people at the risk of life itself.

Faith is permitting ourselves to be seized by the things we do not see.

Faith must trample under foot all reason, sense, and understanding.
