He promised never to leave me, never to leave me alone. No, never alone. He promised never to leave me, never to leave me alone.

Martin Luther

Quoted in Vincent Cronin The Flowering of the Renaissance (1969).

If the devil were wise enough and would stand by in silence and let the gospel be preached, he would suffer less harm. For when there is no battle for the gospel it rusts and it finds no cause and no occasion to show its vigor and power. Therefore, nothing better can befall the gospel than that the world should fight it with force and cunning.

Martin Luther

Wise, Fighting, Silence

Though we be active in the battle, if we are not fighting where the battle is the hottest, we are traitors to the cause.

Martin Luther

Fighting, Battle, Causes

I was born to fight devils and factions. It is my business to remove obstacles, to cut down thorns, to fill up quagmires and to open and make straight paths. If I must have some failing let me rather speak the truth with too great sincerity than once to act the hypocrite and conceal the truth.

Martin Luther

Hypocrite, Cutting, Fighting
