I am so busy now that if I did not spend three hours each day in prayer, I could not get through the day.
Martin LutherAdam was created, as it were, intoxicated with rejoicing toward God and was delighted also with all the other creatures.
Martin LutherWhilst a man is persuaded that he has it in his power to contribute anything, be it ever so little, to his salvation, he remains in carnal self-confidence; he is not a self-despairer, and therefore is not duly humbled before God, he believes he may lend a helping hand in his salvation, but on the contrary, whoever is truly convinced that the whole work depends singly on the will of God, such a person renounces his own will and strength; he waits and prays for the operation of God, nor waits and prays in vain
