Unfortunately the details escape me, but someone wrote an article in German
on this not very long ago (within the last couple of years). As I remember
it, the statement attributed to Luther is `Even if I knew the world would
end tomorrow, I would still plant my apple tree today'. However (if I
remember the article correctly), this statement cannot be verified from
Luther's writings or table-talk.

according to a tradition i cannot trace, luther is said to have responded
that if someone claimed the messiah had come one shd go on planting
trees. does anyone know of this (even attributed to other figures)? does
someone know of a reformation or early modern list they can forward this to?
