Let all your preaching be in the most simple and plainest manner; look not to the prince, but to the plain, simple, gross, unlearned people, of which cloth the prince also himself is made. If I, in my preaching, should have regard to Philip Melancthon and other learned doctors, then should I do but little good. I preach in the simplest manner to the unskillful, and that giveth content to all. Hebrew, Greek and Latin I spare until we learned ones come together.
Martin LutherSome plague the people with too long sermons; for the faculty of listening is a tender thing, and soon becomes weary and satiated.
Martin LutherIn a delightful garden, sowing, planting or digging are not hardship but are done with a zeal and a certain pleasure.
