Martin Luther Quotes
I am persuaded that without knowledge of literature pure theology cannot at all endure. . . .

It is my desire that there shall be as many poets and rhetoricians as possible, because I see that by these studies as by no other means, people are wonderfully fitted for the grasping of sacred truth and for handling it skillfully and happily.
