“I want nothing but this Christ. He shall be a Treasure so great to me that everything
else will seem dung to me. He shall be a Light so great to me that, having apprehended
Him by faith, I do not care to know whether there is a law, sin, and any righteousness
or unrighteousness in all the world. For what is everything in heaven and on earth
compared with the Son of God, Jesus Christ, my Lord, who loved me and gave Himself
for me?”

–Martin Luther, _What Luther Says: An Anthology_, comp. Ewald M. Plass (St. Louis:
Concordia Publishing House, 1959), entry no. 4429, p. 1373.
