Martin Luther Quotes About Tribulation

Quotes about: Tribulation

• Those speak foolishly who ascribe their anger or their impatience to such as offend them or to tribulation. Tribulation does not make people impatient, but proves that they are impatient. So everyone may learn from tribulation how his heart is constituted.

  Martin Luther

  Patience, Heart, People

  Martin Luther, J. Theodore Mueller (2003). “Commentary on Romans”, p.91, Kregel Publications

• When I am assailed with heavy tribulations, I rush out among my pigs rather than remain alone by myself. The human heart is like a millstone in a mill: when you put wheat under it, it turns and grinds and bruises the wheat to flour; if you put no wheat, it still grinds on, but then 'tis itself it grinds and wears away. So the human heart, unless it be occupied with some employment, leaves space for the devil, who wriggles himself in and brings with him a whole host of evil thoughts, temptations, and tribulations, which grind out the heart.

  Martin Luther, Alexander Chalmers (1857). “The Table Talk of Martin Luther”, p.270
