Martin Luther

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

Let the wife make the husband glad to come home, and let him make her sorry to see him leave.

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

I have no pleasure in any man who despises music. It is no invention of ours: it is a gift of God. I place it next to theology. Satan hates music: he knows how it drives the evil spirit out of us.

There is no wisdom save in truth. Truth is everlasting, but our ideas about truth are changeable. Only a little of the first fruits of wisdom, only a few fragments of the boundless heights, breadths and depths of truth, have I been able to gather.

Who loves not women, wine and song remains a fool his whole life long.

I am afraid that the schools will prove the very gates of hell, unless they diligently labor in explaining the Holy Scriptures and engraving them in the heart of the youth.

Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree.

There is no more lovely, friendly, and charming relationship, communion, or company than a good marriage.

Peace if possible, but truth at any rate.
