Peace is more important than all justice; and peace was not made for the sake of justice, but justice for the sake of peace.
From Martin Luther
If he have faith, the believer cannot be restrained. He betrays himself. He breaks out. He confesses and teaches this gospel to the people at the risk of life itself.
I cannot and will not recant anything, for to go against conscience is neither right nor safe. Here I stand, I can do no other, so help me God. Amen.
People must have righteous principals in the first, and then they will not fail to perform virtuous actions.
Anyone who is to find Christ must first find the church. How could anyone know where Christ is and what faith is in him unless he knew where his believers are?
The will is a beast of burden. If God mounts it, it wishes and goes as God wills; if Satan mounts it, it wishes and goes as Satan wills; Nor can it choose its rider... the riders contend for its possession.
The fewer the words, the better the prayer.
Grant that I may not pray alone with the mouth; help me that I may pray from the depths of my heart.
When I am angry I can pray well and preach well.
Justice is a temporary thing that must at last come to an end; but the conscience is eternal and will never die.
