"For all works and things, which are either commanded or forbidden by God and thus have been instituted by the supreme Majesty, are 'musts.' Nevertheless, no one should be dragged to them or away from them by the hair, for I can drive no man to heaven or beat him into it with a club."
"Be a sinner and sin boldly, but believe and rejoice in Christ even more boldly."
"Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree."
"There never yet have been, nor are there now, too many good books."
"Reason is a whore, the greatest enemy that faith has; it never comes to the aid of spiritual things, but more frequently than not struggles against the divine Word, treating with contempt all that emanates from God."
"Be a sinner and sin boldly, but believe and rejoice in Christ even more boldly."
