Martin Luther

"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."

"Anyone who is to find Christ must first find the church. How could anyone know where Christ is and what faith is in him unless he knew where his believers are?"

"Be a sinner and sin strongly, but more strongly have faith and rejoice in Christ."

"Blood alone moves the wheels of history."

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

"Faith is a living, daring confidence in God's grace, so sure and certain that a man could stake his life on it a thousand times."

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

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

"For in the true nature of things, if we rightly consider, every green tree is far more glorious than if it were made of gold and silver."

"God writes the Gospel not in the Bible alone, but also on trees, and in the flowers and clouds and stars."

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

"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."

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

"Peace if possible, truth at all costs."

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

"Pray, and let God worry."

"Reason is the enemy of faith."

"To be a Christian without prayer is no more possible than to be alive without breathing."

"War is the greatest plague that can afflict humanity, it destroys religion, it destroys states, it destroys families. Any scourge is preferable to it."

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