I refuse to accept the idea that man is mere flotsam and jetsam in the river of life, unable to influence the unfolding events which surround him. I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality.
Martin LutherWhen God creates faith in a man, that is as great a work as if He created heaven and earth all over again.
Martin LutherThe authority of Scripture is greater than the comprehension of the whole of man's reason.
Martin LutherCujus region, ejus rligio (Whoever's reign, his religion) ... He who owns the country owns the Church, and he that makes your laws for you has the right to make your religion for you.
Martin Luther
