Martin Luther was born on this day in 1483.

"No man with a sense of humor ever founded a religion." -- Robert Ingersoll.


This is also the birthday of Margaret Mitchell (born in 1900), who wrote "Gone With the Wind." And on this day in 1880, Sarah Bernhardt, maybe the most famous actress in history, debuted in New York.

Martin Luther said: "Women should remain at home, sit still, keep house, and bear and bring up children."
