About This Quote

"Go into your own poverty, welcome it with eagerness. I wish you poverty! I wish you poverty! I wish you poverty!" This is the advice Martin Luther gave to his son, Friederich, when he was dying. He said that if Friederich wanted to share his life and love with others, he should not fear death. Luther also shared that he would be sharing his death with his son since that is what one shares with someone who loves you.
