Martin LutherI would not have preachers torment their hearers, and detain them with long and tedious preaching.
Martin LutherWe need not invite the Devil to our table; he is too ready to come without being asked. The air all about us is filled with demons.

Martin LutherThere can be no be no better instruction... than that every man who is to deal with his neighbor to follow these commandments. 'Whatsoever ye would that others should do unto you, do ye also unto them,' and 'Love thy neighbor as thyself.' If these were always followed, then everything would instruct and arrange itself; then no law books nor courts nor judicial actions would be required. All things would quietly and simply be set to rights, for everyone's heart and conscience would guide them.
