Luther’s
Greatest Hits:
“The
subject or matter of this book is simply the human race, which is so foolish
that it seeks and strives for many things by its efforts which it cannot attain
or which, even if it does attain them, it does not enjoy but possesses to its
sorrow and harm, as the fault not of the things themselves, but of its own
foolish affections.”
“Incompetent
legislators are a curse from God.”
“When
the heart is empty of cares and yet something happens to it that is pleasant or
some interesting sight comes alone, this is very delightful.”
“Humans
are like a dog who attacks his reflection in a pond and in so doing drops his bone.”
“Since,
we shall not take anything with us, let us share it with others.”
It is better to bear with and to endure a moderate
amount of rebellion than to let the entire state perish."
