Not everyone can wait: neither the sated nor the satisfied nor those without respect can wait. The only ones who can wait are people who carry restlessness around with them.

More quotes by 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
The heart clings to collected treasure. Stored-up possessions get between me and God. Where my treasure is, there is my trust, my security, my comfort, my God. Treasure means idolatry.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The first call which every Christian experiences is the call to abandon the attachments of this world.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The Lord stands above the new day, for God has made it. All restlessness, all worry, and anxiety flee before him.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
A pastor should never complain about his congregation, certainly never to other people, but also not to God. A congregation has not been entrusted to him in order that he should become its accuser before God and men.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
God is not a God of the emotions but the God of truth.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Every call of Christ leads into death.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The wars of Israel were the only 'holy wars' in history... there can be no more wars of faith. The only way to overcome our enemy is by loving him.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Being free means being free for the other, because the other has bound me to him. Only in relationship with the other am I free
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
It is only with gratitude that life becomes rich!
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Every Christian community must realize that not only do the weak need the strong, but also that the strong cannot exist without the weak. The elimination of the weak is the death of fellowship.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Only the suffering God can help.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
There is no way to peace along the way to safety. For peace must be dared. It is the great venture.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
A love that left people alone in their guilt would not have real people as its object. So, in vicarious responsibility for people, and in His love for real human beings, Jesus becomes the one burdened by guilt.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
If Jesus Christ is not true God, how could he help us? If he is not true man, how could he help us?
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
If you reject God's commanding word, you will not receive God's gracious word.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The Lord confers great honor on his servants when he brings them suffering.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
A Christian fellowship lives and exists by the intercession of its members for one another, or it collapses.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The gift of Christ is not the Christian religion, but the grace and love of God which culminate in the cross.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
