– Martin Luther
“Who loves not wine, women and song, Remains a fool his whole life long
if you can answer one of both that would be appreciated.
Answers:
Well the first stands as cited with a few sources but the next:
“Who loves not wine, women and song, Remains a fool his whole life long"
Is likely not Luther.
perhaps it was J H Voss states Bartlett (The quote books)
Brewer's famous Quotations 2006, Nigel rees states it is
not until 1776 it was attributed to Luther and that most of the quote is a common one in German, etc.
“Do you suppose that abuses are eliminated by destroying the object which is abused? Men can go wrong with wine and women. Shall we then prohibit and abolish women?”
your next appears to be Luther but it changes wording in most citations. But it seems accurate:
"prohibit wine and abolish women"

Luther resolved to return and did so on March 6. The invocavit (March 9) sermons stressed the need to join love and action rather act against God. "Love is the captain."
1. I let the Word do its work. The power of Scripture
2. images and fastings were adiaphora or free things that were not in or out of God's word
3. Luther did not believe that it mattered whether one received the sacrament in one or both kinds as long as one recognized the freedom to do either. The key was love and the need of the community for order
4. Give men time. I took three years of constant study, reflection, and discussion to arrive where I now am, and can the common man, untutored in such matters, be expected to move the same distance in three months. Do not suppose that abuses are eliminated by destroying the object that is abused. Men can go wrong with wine and women. Shall we prohibit wine and abolish women. The sun, the moon, and stars have been worshipped. Shall we pluck them out of the sky? such haste and violence betray a lack of confidence in God. See how much he has been able to accomplish through me, though I did no more than prayer and preach. The Word did it all. Had I wished I might have started a conflation at Worms. But while I sat still and drank beer with Philip and Amsdorf, God dealt the papacy a mighty blow.
