Martin Luther Quotes
Prayer is a strong wall and fortress of the church; it is a goodly Christian weapon. Reason is a whore, the greatest enemy that faith has. Reason is the enemy of faith. The Bible is the cradle wherein Christ is laid. The fewer the words, the better the prayer. The God of this world is riches, pleasure and pride. The Lord commonly gives riches to foolish people, to whom he gives nothing else. The man who has the will to undergo all labor may win to any good. The reproduction of mankind is a great marvel and mystery. Had God consulted me in the matter, I should have advised him to continue the generation of the species by fashioning them out of clay. The will is a beast of burden. If God mounts it, it wishes and goes as God wills; if Satan mounts it, it wishes and goes as Satan wills; Nor can it choose its rider... the riders contend for its possession. There is no more lovely, friendly and charming relationship, communion or company than a good marriage. To gather with God's people in united adoration of the Father is as necessary to the Christian life as prayer. War is the greatest plague that can afflict humanity, it destroys religion, it destroys states, it destroys families. Any scourge is preferable to it. Whatever your heart clings to and confides in, that is really your God. When I am angry I can pray well and preach well. When schools flourish, all flourishes. You are not only responsible for what you say, but also for what you do not say. You should not believe your conscience and your feelings more than the word which the Lord who receives sinners preaches to you.
