[edit] Quotes by Martin Luther

  • If a man is in open rebellion, everyone is both his judge and his executioner. . . Therefore, let everyone who can, smite, slay, and stab, secretly or openly, remembering that nothing can be more poisonous, hurtful, or devilish than a rebel. It is just as when one must kill a mad dog.
-Martin Luther (Against the Robbing and Murdering Hordes of Peasants, 1525)
  • Whoever wishes to be a Christian, let him pluck out the eyes of his reason.
-Martin Luther (First Psalm Lectures, Luther's Works, Vol. 11, p.285)
  • Christ wants to slay reason and subdue the arrogance of the Jews...
-Martin Luther (Sermons on the Gospel of St. John, Luther's Works, V.22, p.320)
  • Whoever wants to be a Christian must be intent on silencing the voice of reason.
-Martin Luther (Sermons on the Gospel of St. John, Luther's Works, V.23, p. 99)

-Martin Luther (Letter to Several Nuns, 6 Aug. 1524)
