Works indeed are good, and God strictly requires them of us, but they do not make us holy.

We old folks have to find our cushions and pillows in our tankards. Strong beer is the milk of the old.

Prayer is a strong wall and fortress of the church; it is a goodly Christian weapon.

The Holy Spirit is no skeptic. He has written neither doubt nor mere opinion into our hearts, but rather solid assurances, which are more sure and solid than all experience and even life itself.

Whatever your heart clings to and confides in, that is really your God, your functional savior.

For God is wholly present in all creation, in every corner, he is behind you and before you. Do you think he is sleeping on a pillow in heaven? He is watching over you and protecting you.

It is neither safe nor prudent to do anything against conscience.
