Quote of the Day

"You are not only responsible for what you say, but also for what you do not say."

- Martin Luther

His translation of the Bible into the German vernacular (instead of Latin) made it more accessible to the laity, an event that had a tremendous impact on both the church and German culture. It fostered the development of a standard version of the German language, added several principles to the art of translation, and influenced the writing of an English translation.
