Explanation

The quote is directly attributed to Martin Luther in the NCERT textbook. Students sometimes confuse him with Gutenberg (who invented the printing press) — Gutenberg invented it, but Luther praised it with these words. Always read quotes carefully and match the speaker, not just the topic.
