Martin Luther, as quoted in [*Jesus, Keep Me Near the Cross*](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1433501813/dashhouse-20?ref=dashhouse.com):

> If one does rightly meditate on the suffering of Christ for a day, an hour, or even a quarter of an hour, this we may confidently say is better than a whole year of fasting, days of psalm singing, yes, than even one hundred masses, because this reflection changes the whole man and makes him new, as he was in baptism.
