True humility does not know that it is humble. If it did, it would be proud from the contemplation of so fine a virtue.

Therefore we Christians, in turn, are obliged not to tolerate their wanton and conscious blasphemy.

When my heart is cold and I cannot pray as I should I scourge myself with the thought of the impiety and ingratitude of my enemies, the Pope and his accomplices and vermin, and Zwingli, so that my heart swells with the righteous indignation and hatred and I can say with warmth and vehemence: 'Holy be Thy Name, Thy Kingdom come, Thy Will be done!' And the hotter I grow the more ardent do my prayers become.

It is a good thing to let prayer be the first business of the morning and the last of the evening.

The law works fear and wrath; grace works hope and mercy.

Those who turn proud when their praise is sounded, who seek their own glory, not Christ's, or those who are moved by slanders and by infamy, had better leave the ministry of the Word.
