Martin Luther Should Have Quotations

The reproduction of mankind is a great marvel and mystery. Had God consulted me in the matter, I should have advised him to continue the generation of the species by fashioning them out of clay.

I should have no compassion on these witches; I should burn them all.

Stubbornness should have been my middle name.

A preacher should have the skill to teach the unlearned simply roundly, and plainly; for teaching is of more importance than exhorting.

It is not necessary for a preacher to express all his thoughts in one sermon. A preacher should have three principles: first, to make a good beginning, and not spend time with many words before coming to the point; secondly, to say that which belongs to the subject in chief, and avoid strange and foreign thoughts; thirdly, to stop at the proper time.
