Father and Mother are apostles, bishops and priests to their children, for it is they who make them acquainted with the gospel.
Martin LutherNot only the words (vocabula) which the Holy Spirit and Scripture use are divine, but also the phrasing
Martin LutherMy dear pope, I will kiss your feet and acknowledge you as supreme bishop if you will worship my Christ and grant that through His death and resurrection, not through keeping your traditions, we have forgiveness of sins and life eternal.
Martin LutherEvery country must have its own devil. Welshland its own, and France its own. Our German devil will be a good wind-pipe, and must be called drinking, being so thirsty and hell-like that no guzzling of wine and beer, however large, will cool it off, and I fear that such will ever remain Germany's plague, until the day of judgment.
Martin Luther
