More quotes by Abraham Joshua Heschel
In prayer we shift the center of living from self-consciousness to self-surrender
Abraham Joshua Heschel
When religion speaks only in the name of authority rather than with the voice of compassion, its message becomes meaningless.
Abraham Joshua Heschel
The course of life is unpredictable no one can write his autobiography in advance.
Abraham Joshua Heschel
Wise criticism always begins with self-criticism.
Abraham Joshua Heschel
Wonder or radical amazement is the chief characteristic of the religious man's attitude toward history and nature.
Abraham Joshua Heschel
Instead of indulging in jealousy, greed, in relishing themselves, there are men who keep their hearts alert to the stillness in which time rolls on and leaves us behind. ... those who are open to the wonder will not miss it. Faith is found in solicitude for faith, in an inner care for the wonder that is everywhere.
Abraham Joshua Heschel
Faith is not the clinging to a shrine but an endless pilgrimage of the heart. Audacious longing, burning songs, daring thoughts, an impulse overwhelming the heart, usurping the mind--these are all a drive towards serving Him who rings our hearts like a bell. It is as if He were waiting to enter our empty, perishing lives.
Abraham Joshua Heschel
Faith opens our hearts for the entrance of the holy. It is almost as though God were thinking for us.
Abraham Joshua Heschel
Then comes the insight that All is God. One still realizes that the world is as it was, but it does not matter, it does not affect one's faith.
Abraham Joshua Heschel
Our goal should be to live life in radical amazement. ....get up in the morning and look at the world in a way that takes nothing for granted. Everything is phenomenal everything is incredible never treat life casually. To be spiritual is to be amazed.
Abraham Joshua Heschel
The test of love is in how one relates not to saints and scholars but to rascals.
Abraham Joshua Heschel
When we pray, we bring G-d into the world
Abraham Joshua Heschel
God is everywhere or nowhere, the father of all people or of none, concerned about everything or nothing. Only in His presence shall we learn that the glory of humankind is not in its will to power but in its power of compassion.
Abraham Joshua Heschel
The Sabbath is not for the sake of the weekdays the weekdays are for the sake of Sabbath. It is not an interlude but the climax of living.
Abraham Joshua Heschel
There is happiness in the love of labor, there is misery in the love of gain.
Abraham Joshua Heschel
To pray is to dream in league with God, to envision His holy visions.
Abraham Joshua Heschel
The task of life is to face sacred moments.
Abraham Joshua Heschel
Religion has become an impersonal affair, an institutional loyalty. It survives on the level of activities rather than in the stillness of commitment.
Abraham Joshua Heschel
To serve does not mean to surrender but to share.
Abraham Joshua Heschel
Speech has power. Words do not fade. What starts out as a sound, ends in a deed.
Abraham Joshua Heschel
