Martin Luther on Violence

"I will preach, speak, write, but I will force no one; for faith must be voluntary .... Do you know that the devil thinks when he sees men using violence to propagate the Gospel? He sits with folded arms behind the fire of hell, and says with malignant looks and frightful grin: 'Ah, how wise these madmen are to play my game! Let them go one; I shall reap the benefit. I delight in it.'"
