The Holy Ghost Is Not A Sceptic,

Works Indeed Are Good, And God Strictly Requires Them Of Us, But They Do Not Make Us Holy.

From The Beginning Of My Reformation I Have Asked God To Send Me Neither Dreams, Nor Visions, Nor Angels, But To Give Me The Right Understanding Of His Word, The Holy Scriptures; For As Long As I Have God's Word, I Know That I Am Walking In His Way And That I Shall Not Fall Into Any Error Or Delusion.

To Pray Diligently Is More Than Half The Task.

To Have Peace And Love In Marriage Is A Gift Which Is Next To The Knowledge Of The Gospel.

Original Sin Is In Us Like Our Beard. We Are Shaved Today And Look Clean; Tomorrow Our Beard Has Grown Again, Nor Does It Cease Growing While We Remain On Earth. In Like Manner Original Sin Cannot Be Extirpated From Us; It Springs Up In Us As Long As We Live.
