Martin Luther

Some plague the people with too long sermons for the faculty of listening is a tender thing and soon becomes weary and satiated.

Tomorrow I plan to work work from early until late. In fact I have so much to do that I shall spend the first three hours in prayer.

The less I pray the harder it gets the more I pray the better it goes.

I have to hurry all day to get time to pray.

The fewer the words the better the prayer.

Our Lord has written the promise of resurrection not in books alone but in every leaf of springtime.

The devil does not stay where music is.

I never work better than when I am inspired by anger when I am angry I can write pray and preach well for then my whole temperament is quickened my understanding sharpened and all mundane vexations and temptations depart.

Christian life consists in faith and charity.

Every thing that is done in the world is done by hope.

God uses lust to impel men to marry ambition to office avarice to earning and fear to faith. God led me like an old blind goat.

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.

A mighty fortress is our God A bulwark never failing Our helper he amid the flood Of mortal ills prevailing.

Forgiveness is God's command.

Who loves not women wine and song Remains a fool his whole life long.

Here I stand. I can do no otherwise. God help me. Amen.

Faith is a living and unshakable confidence a belief in the grace of God so assured that a man would die a thousand deaths for its sake.

In the bonds of Death He lay Who for our offense was slain But the Lord is risen today Christ hath brought us life again Wherefore let us all rejoice Singing loud with cheerful voice Hallelujah!
