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.

— Martin Luther

— Martin Luther

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

— Martin Luther

Fight vigorously against the wolves, but on behalf of the sheep, not against the sheep.

— Martin Luther

For all works and things, which are either commanded or forbidden by God and thus have been instituted by the supreme Majesty, are 'musts.' Nevertheless, no one should be dragged to them or away from them by the hair, for I can drive no man to heaven or beat him into it with a club.

— Martin Luther

Forgiveness is God's command.

— Martin Luther

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.

— Martin Luther

For where God built a church, there the Devil would also build a chapel.

— Martin Luther

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.

— Martin Luther

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

— Martin Luther
