Stubbornness Should Have Been My Middle Name.

God Is Ready To Give More Quickly, And To Give More Than You Ask; Yea, He Offers His Treasures If We Only Take Them.

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.

We Conclude, Therefore, That A Christian Lives Not In Himself, But In Christ And In His Neighbor. Otherwise He Is Not A Christian. He Lives In Christ Through Faith, In His Neighbor Through Love.

In Short, I Will Preach It [the Word], Teach It, Write It, But I Will Constrain No Man By Force, For Faith Must Come Freely Without Compulsion. Take Myself As An Example. I Opposed Indulgences And All The Papists, But Never With Force. I Simply Taught, Preached, And Wrote God's Word; Otherwise I Did Nothing. And While I Slept, Or Drank Wittenberg Beer With My Friends Philip And Amsdorf, The Word So Greatly Weakened The Papacy That No Prince Or Emperor Ever Inflicted Such Losses Upon It. I Did Nothing; The Word Did Everything.
