The Lutheran Word for Today:
"Alas, for our poor wisdom!  Before we really become wise, we lie down to die.  This is why the devil has an easy fight of it.  When a man is thirty years old, he still has fleshly follies about him, to say nothing of spiritual follies.  At the same time it is surprising that we nonetheless perform such great things in weakness of this kind.  But our Lord God is the One who grants us success."  Martin Luther - from a collection of Luther's sayings compiled by J Aurifaber.
