No man ought to lay a cross upon himself, or to adopt tribulation, as is done in popedom; but if a cross or tribulation come upon him, then let him suffer it patiently, and know that it is good and profitable for him.
Martin LutherAdam was created, as it were, intoxicated with rejoicing toward God and was delighted also with all the other creatures.
Martin LutherThe curses of the ungodly are more pleasing to God's ears than the hallelujahs of the pious
Martin Luther
