Quote by Martin Luther

Reason is a whore, the greatest enemy that faith has.

Reason is a whore, the greatest enemy that faith has.

Summary

This provocative quote suggests that reason, though valuable and rational in many aspects, can sometimes undermine faith. It implies that reason can lead individuals to question and doubt their faith, questioning beliefs that cannot be fully explained or proven through logical means. Thus, reason is portrayed as a potential enemy of faith, as it can potentially weaken or challenge one's trust in religious or spiritual beliefs.

I have never seen or heard of such a fish. But I must kill him. I am glad we do not have to try to kill the stars. Imagine if each day a man must try to kill the moon, he thought. The moon runs away. . . . Then he was sorry for the great fish that had nothing to eat and his determination to kill him never relaxed in his sorrow for him. . . . There is no one worthy of eating him from the manner of his behavior and his great dignity. I do not understand these things, he thought. But it is good that we do not have to try to kill the sun or the moon or the stars. It is enough to live on the sea and kill our true brothers.

I have tried to make all my acts and commercial moves the result of definite consideration and sound judgment. There were never any great ventures or risks. I practiced honest, slow-growing business methods, and tried to back them with energy and good system.
