That no Christian works miracles now shows that faith isn't quite right. So true faith today is itself a great miracle.

Friedrich von Logau

Friedrich von Logau (1605–1655) war ein schlesischer Dichter, Jurist und Regierungsrat zur Zeit des Dreißigjährigen Krieges. Er gilt als bedeutender Epigrammatiker des Barock, der in seinen Sinngedichten mit sprachlicher Knappheit und Ironie Kriegselend, höfische Heuchelei sowie religiösen Fanatismus kritisierte. Für Bibelleser bieten seine Verse bis heute pointierte ethische Denkanstöße und mahnen zu einem aufrichtig gelebten Glauben anstelle bloßer Scheinfrömmigkeit.
