Martin Luther; 10 November 1483 – 18 February 1546) was a German professor of theology, composer, priest, monk and a seminal figure in the Protestant Reformation. Luther came to reject several teachings and practices of the Late Medieval Catholic Church.

When asked what he would do if he knew the world would end tomorrow, Martin Luther said, "I would plant a tree."
The power of God is present at all places, even in the tiniest tree leaf.
The fruit does not make the tree good or bad but the tree itself is what determines the nature of the fruit. In the same way, a person first must be good or bad before doing a good or bad work.

For in the true nature of things, if we rightly consider, every green tree is far more glorious than if it were made of gold and silver.
For some years now I have read through the Bible twice every year. If you picture the Bible to be a mighty tree and every word a little branch, I have shaken every one of these branches because I wanted to know what it was and what it meant.
No other God have I but thee, born in a manger, died on a tree.
You can’t reach good ends through evil means, because the means represent the seed and the end represents the tree.
Even if I were certain that the world would end tomorrow, I would plant a tree this very day

Even though they grow weary and wear themselves out with child- bearing, it does not matter; let them go on bearing children till they die, that is what they are there for
Everything done in the world is done by hope.
Pray, and let God worry.
The will of man without the grace of God is not free at all, but is the permanent prisoner and bondslave of evil since it cannot turn itself to good.
