More quotes by Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Political action means taking on responsibility. This cannot happen without power. Power is to serve responsibility.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Absolute seriousness is never without a dash of humor.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The deep meaning of the cross of Christ is that there is no suffering on earth that is not borne by God.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
In Jesus Christ we have been chosen from eternity, accepted in time, and united for eternity.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
If you want my goodness to stay with you then serve your neighbour, for in him God comes to you himself such a man sees in his neighbour the material and spiritual need he is called to meet.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Things do exist that are worth standing up for without compromise. To me it seems that peace and social justice are such things, as is Christ himself.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The Kingdom is to be in the midst of your enemies
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The person who’s in love with their vision of community will destroy community. But the person who loves the people around them will create community everywhere they go.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Each morning is a new beginning of our life. Each day is a finished whole. The present day marks the boundary of our cares and concerns. It is long enough to find God or lose Him, to keep faith or fall into disgrace.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Faith without works is not faith at all, but a simple lack of obedience to God.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The time is short. Eternity is long. It is the time of decision.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Once again, Jesus calls those who follow him to share his passion.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The Lord confers great honor on his servants when he brings them suffering.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Time is the most precious gift in our possession, for it is the most irrevocable. This is what makes it so disturbing to look back upon the time which we have lost. Time lost is time when we have not lived a full human life, time unenriched by experience, creative endeavor, enjoyment, and suffering. Time lost is time not filled, time left empty.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
I can no longer condemn or hate a brother for whom I pray, no matter how much trouble he causes me.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
That fact that Jesus Christ died is more important than that fact that I will die.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Where God tears great gaps we should not try to fill them with human words.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The 'polymath' had already died out by the close of the eighteenth century, and in the following century intensive education replaced extensive, so that by the end of it the specialist had evolved. The consequence is that today everyone is a mere technician, even the artist.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Not until one person desires to keep his own bread for himself does hunger ensue.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Only the believer obeys — obedience follows faith, the way good fruit comes from a good tree. Only the obedient believe.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
