More quotes by Abraham Isaac Kook
There are free men with the spirit of a slave, and slaves whose spirit is full of freedom. He who is true to his inner self is a free man, while he whose entire life is merely a stage for what is good and beautiful in the eyes of others, is a slave.
Abraham Isaac Kook
Contemplate the wonders of creation, the Divine dimension of their being, not as a dim configuration that is presented to you from a distance, but as the reality in which you live.
Abraham Isaac Kook
When one looks truly at the good side of everyone, others come to love him very naturally, and he does not need even a speck of flattery.
Abraham Isaac Kook
All the troubles of the world, especially the spiritual, such as grief, impatience, disillusionment, despair, the truly basic troubles of man-they came about only because of the failure to view clearly the majesty of God.
Abraham Isaac Kook
We are great and our faults are great and therefore our problems great and great are our consolations.
Abraham Isaac Kook
The Second Temple was destroyed because of causeless hatred. Perhaps the Third will be rebuilt because of causeless love.
Abraham Isaac Kook
When the spirit shines, even foggy skies make pleasant light.
Abraham Isaac Kook
The progress of dynamic ideals will not be eternally blocked. Through general, moral and intellectual advancement... shall the latent aspiration of justice for the animal kingdom come out into the open, when the time is ripe.
Abraham Isaac Kook
The pure righteous do not complain of the dark, but increase the light they do not complain of evil, but increase justice they do not complain of heresy, but increase faith they do not complain of ignorance, but increase wisdom.
Abraham Isaac Kook
Our generation is wonderful generation, full of wonder. It's very hard to find an example of it in all our history. Composed of contradictions — light and darkness mixed.
Abraham Isaac Kook
We forgot we have Holy Body not less than our Holy Spirit.
Abraham Isaac Kook
The thought of a happiness that comes from outside the person, brings him sadness. But the recognition in the value of one's will and the freedom granted by its uplifting, brings great joy.
Abraham Isaac Kook
The higher the truth, the simpler it is.
Abraham Isaac Kook
The desire to be good to all with no restrictions - not in the quantity of those to whom we are good nor in the quality of the good we perform - that is the inner nucleus of the essence of the soul of Israel.
Abraham Isaac Kook
The good will is all — and all the talents are ways to fulfill it.
Abraham Isaac Kook
I don't speak because I have the power to speak I speak because I don't have the power to remain silent.
Abraham Isaac Kook
An epiphany enables you to sense creation not as something completed, but as constantly becoming, evolving, ascending. This transports you from a place where there is nothing new to a place where there is nothing old, where everything renews itself, where heaven and earth rejoice as at the moment of creation.
Abraham Isaac Kook
