Happy birthday, Martin!

by Kim on November 10, 2009

Today is Martin Luther’s birthday (b. 1483). Here are seven great Luther quotes.

Whoever loves not women, wine, and song remains a fool his whole life long.

Sin with gusto, but believe with more gusto still.

Wherever God builds a church, there the devil also builds a chapel.

Whatever your heart clings to and confides in, that is effectively your God.

Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would fall apart, I would still plant an apple tree today.

Teaching is more important than admonishing.

Be comforted, little cat, for in the resurrection you will have a little golden tail.
(That’s a loose translation: Luther actually said “little dog”!)
