I can't keep the sparrows from flying around my head, but I can keep them from making a nest in my hair.
Martin Luther -
Reason should be destroyed in all Christians.
Martin Luther
-
Two devils rose from the water, and flew off through the air, crying, 'Oh, oh, oh!' and turning one over another, in sportive mockery.
Martin Luther -
Those who love music are gentle and honest in their tempers. I always loved music, and would not, for a great matter, be without the little skill which I possess in the art.
Martin Luther -
We find no rest for our weary bones unless we cling to the word of grace.
Martin Luther -
Let him who wants a true church cling to the Word by which everything is upheld.
Martin Luther -
We conclude, therefore, that a Christian lives not in himself, but in Christ and in his neighbor. Otherwise he is not a Christian. He lives in Christ through faith, in his neighbor through love. By faith he is caught up beyond himself into God. By love he descends beneath himself into his neighbor.
Martin Luther -
Prayer is a very precious medicine, one that certainly helps and never fails, if you will only use it.
Martin Luther
-
Now if I believe in God's Son and remember that He became man, all creatures will appear a hundred times more beautiful to me than before. Then I will properly appreciate the sun, the moon, the stars, trees, apples, as I reflect that he is Lord over all things. ...God writes the Gospel, not in the Bible alone, but also on trees, and in the flowers and clouds and stars.
Martin Luther -
Beer is made by men, wine by God.

You must learn that if you are a Christian, you will without a doubt experience all kinds of opposition and evil inclinations in the flesh. For when you have faith, there will be a hundred more evil thoughts and a hundred more temptations than before.
Martin Luther -
The Gospel is nothing less than laughter and joy.
Martin Luther
-
A safe stronghold our God is still. A trusty shield and weapon.
Martin Luther -
It is with all these qualities that we must stand before God and intervene on behalf of those who do not have them, as though clothed with someone else's garment. But even before men we must, with the same love, render them service against their detractors and those who are violent toward them; for this is what Christ did for us.
Martin Luther -
You should point to the whole man Jesus and say, That is God.
Martin Luther -
The purpose of marriage is not to have pleasure and to be idle but to procreate and bring up children, to support a household. This, of course, is a huge burden full of great cares and toils. But you have been created by God to be a husband or a wife and that you may learn to bear these troubles.
Martin Luther -
All we who believe on Christ are kings and priests in Christ.
Martin Luther -
I've got so much work to do today, I'd better spend two hours in prayer instead of one.
Martin Luther
-
Christian life consists of faith and charity.
Martin Luther -
We can mention only one point (which experience confirms), namely, that next to the Word of God, music deserves the highest praise. No greater commendation than this can be found — at least not by us. After all, the gift of language combined with the gift of song was only given to man to let him know that he should praise God with both word and music, namely, by proclaiming [the Word of God] through music.
Martin Luther -
Every doer of the law and every moral worker is accursed, for he walketh in the presumption of his own righteousness.
Martin Luther -
Women should remain at home, sit still, and bear children.
Martin Luther
