Martin Luther's day

"You are not only responsible for what you say, but also for what you do not say."

I could not hold my tears when he said:
"I cannot and will not recant anything, for to go against conscience is neither right nor safe. Here I stand, I can do no other, so help me God. Amen. "

"I have held many things in my hands, and I have lost them all; but whatever I have placed in God's hands, that I still possess."

"Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree."

"God writes the Gospel not in the Bible alone, but also on trees, and in the flowers and clouds and stars."

"Faith is a living, daring confidence in God's grace, so sure and certain that a man could stake his life on it a thousand times."

"Every man must do two things alone; he must do his own believing and his own dying."

"Pray, and let God worry."

"Grant that I may not pray alone with the mouth; help me that I may pray from the depths of my heart."
