A preacher should have the skill to teach the unlearned simply roundly, and plainly; for teaching is of more importance than exhorting.

Martin Luther 1073 quotes

I would not have preachers torment their hearers, and detain them with long and tedious preaching.

Martin Luther 1073 quotes

Let all your preaching be in t...

Let all your preaching be in the most simple and plainest manner; look not to the prince, but to the plain, simple, gross, unlearned people, of which cloth the prince also himself is made. If I, in my preaching, should have regard to Philip Melancthon and other learned doctors, then should I do but little good. I preach in the simplest manner to the unskillful, and that giveth content to all. Hebrew, Greek and Latin I spare until we learned ones come together.

Martin Luther 1073 quotes

Blessed is the man that hath not walked in the way of the Sacramentarians, nor sat in the seat of the Zwinglians, nor followed the Council of the Zurichers.

At the last, when we die, we have the dear angels for our escort on the way. They who can grasp the whole world in their hands can surely also guard our souls, that they make that last journey safely.

Though in midst of life we be
Snares of death surround us.

Martin Luther 1073 quotes

Great people and champions are...

Great people and champions are special gifts of God, whom He gives and preserves; they do their work, and achieve great actions, not with vain imaginations, or cold and sleepy cogitations, but by motion of God.

Martin Luther 1073 quotes

The human heart is like a mill...

The human heart is like a millstone in a mill: when you put wheat under it, it turns and grinds and bruises the wheat to flour; if you put no wheat, it still grinds on, but then 'tis itself it grinds and wears away.

Martin Luther 1073 quotes

When Eve was brought unto Adam...

When Eve was brought unto Adam, he became filled with the Holy Spirit, and gave her the most sanctified, the most glorious of appellations. He called, her Eva--that is to say, the Mother of All. He did not style her wife, but simply mother--mother of all living creatures. In this consists the glory and the most precious ornament of woman.

Martin Luther 1073 quotes

Music is one of the fairest and most glorious gifts of God, to which Satan is a bitter enemy; for it removes from the heart the weight of sorrow, and the fascination of evil thoughts.

Martin Luther 1073 quotes

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 1073 quotes

Prayer is a powerful thing; for God has bound and tied himself thereunto.

The church converteth the whole world by blood and prayer.

Albert Durer, the famous painter, used to say he had no pleasure in pictures that were painted with many colors, but in those which were painted with a choice simplicity. So it is with me as to sermons.

Martin Luther 1073 quotes

Singing has nothing to do with the affairs of this world: it is not for the law. Singers are merry, and free from sorrows and cares.

Sin is essentially a departure from God.

Against the flying ball no valor avails.

Count it one of the highest virtues upon earth to educate faithfully the children of others, which so few, and scarcely any, do by their own.

Martin Luther 1073 quotes

A wicked tyrant is better than a wicked war.

Wealth is the smallest thing on earth, the least gift that God has bestowed on mankind.
