More From Martin Luther

The law is equal before all of us; but we are not all equal before the law. virtually there is one law for the rich and another for the poor, one law for the cunning and another for the simple, one law for the forceful and another for the feeble, one law for the ignorant and another for the learned, one law for the brave and another for the timid, and within family limits one law for the parent and no law at all for the child.

A just law is a man-made code that squares with the moral law or the law of god. an unjust law is a code that is out of harmony with the moral law. to put it in the terms of saint thomas aquinas, an unjust law is a human law that is not rooted in eternal and natural law.

What is sin? it is the glory of god not honored. the holiness of god not reverenced. the greatness of god not admired. the power of god not praised. the truth of god not sought. the wisdom of god not esteemed. the beauty of god not treasured. the goodness of god not savored. the faithfulness of god not trusted. the commandments of god not obeyed. the justice of god not respected. the wrath of god not feared. the grace of god not cherished. the presence of god not prized. the person of god not loved. that is sin.

The first law that ever god gave to man was a law of pure obedience; it was a commandment naked and simple, wherein man had nothing to inquire after, or to dispute, forasmuch as to obey is the proper office of a rational soul, acknowledging a heavenly superior and benefactor. from obedience and submission spring all other virtues, as all sin does from self-opinion.

Cleverly assorted scraps of spurious science are inculcated upon the children to prove necessity of law; obedience to the law is made a religion; moral goodness and the law of the masters are fused into one and the same divinity. the historical hero of the schoolroom is the man who obeys the law, and defends it against rebels.

How long has it been since you looked into the eyes of your mother and, holding nothing back, spoke those welcome words, 'mother, i truly love you'? how about father, who daily toils to provide for you? fathers appreciate hearing those same precious words from the lips of a child, 'i love you.'

It's sad if people think that's (homemaking) a dull existance, [but] you can't just buy an apartment and furnish it and walk away. it's the flowers you choose, the music you play, the smile you have waiting. i want it to be gay and cheerful, a haven in this troubled world. i don't want my husband and children to come home and find a rattled woman. our era is already rattled enough, isn't it?

In britain, they have a lot of laws to protect you, and we enforce them very strongly so that our children can stay private figures, and the british press leave us alone, which is great. it means we can go on the tube into the centre of london because it's quicker and more fun for the kids. we can do normal things.
