More quotes by Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Where is love more glorified than where she dwells in the midst of her enemies?
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
If you believe, take the first step, it leads to Jesus Christ. If you don't believe, take the first step all the same, for you are bidden to take it.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Death is hell and night and cold, if it is not transformed by our faith. But that is just what is so marvelous, that we can transform death.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Dietrich Bonhoeffer
One who loves his community destroys community one who loves its members builds community.
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
Not until one person desires to keep his own bread for himself does hunger ensue.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
It is much easier for me to imagine a praying murderer, a praying prostitute, than a vain person praying. Nothing is so at odds with prayer as vanity.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Once again, Jesus calls those who follow him to share his passion.
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
Telling the truth ... is not solely a matter of moral character it is also a matter of correct appreciation of real situations and of serious reflection upon them.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
