Martin Luther

I do not deny that medicine is a gift of God, nor do I refuse to acknowledge science in the skill of many physicians; but, take the best of them, how far are they from perfection?

Martin Luther

All does not yet gleam in glory, but all is being purified.

Healing works through a kind of detox: things have got to come up in order to be released. That is true of our personal issues, and also our collective issues.
