More quotes by Dietrich Bonhoeffer
A home is a kingdom of it's own in the midst of the world, a stronghold amid life's storms and stresses, a refuge, even a sanctuary.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
It matters little what form of prayer we adopt or how many words we use. What matters is the faith which lays hold on God, knowing that He knows our needs before we even ask Him. That is what gives Christian prayer its boundless confidence and its joyous certainty.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Right speech comes out of silence and right silence comes out of speech.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The biggest mistake you can make in your life is to be always afraid of making a mistake.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The future of modern society depends much more on the quiet heroism of the very few who are inspired by God. These few will greatly enjoy the divine inspiration and will be prepared to stand for the dignity of Man and true freedom and to keep the Law of God, even of it means martyrdom or death.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Only those who put tomorrow completely into God's hand and receive fully today what they need for their lives are really secure.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The essence of grace, we suppose, is that the account has been paid in advance and, because it has been paid, everything can be had for nothing.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
In Jesus, the service of God and the service of the least of the brethren were one.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
That fact that Jesus Christ died is more important than that fact that I will die.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
