The highest and most precious treasure we receive of God is, that we can speak, hear, see, etc.; but how few acknowledge these as God's special gifts, much less give God thanks for them.
Martin LutherIt is not I that smite, stab, and slay, but God and my prince, for my hand and my body are now their servants.
Martin LutherMy heart, which is so full to overflowing, has often been solaced and refreshed by music when sick and weary.
Martin LutherFor 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
