More quotes by Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Who can really be faithful in great things if he has not learned to be faithful in the things of daily life?
Dietrich Bonhoeffer

God has willed that we should seek and find God's living Word in the testimony of other Christians, in the mouths of human beings.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Comfort the troubled, and trouble the comfortable.
