More quotes by Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The entire day receives order and discipline when it acquires unity. This unity must be sought and found in morning prayer. The morning prayer determines the day.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
It seems to me more important actually to share someones distress than to use smooth words about it.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Disciples will not be weakened by suffering, worn down, and embittered until they are broken. Instead, they bear suffering, by the power of him who supports them. The disciples bear the suffering laid on them only by the power of him who bears all suffering on the cross. As bearers of suffering, they stand in communion with the Crucified.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The Psalter is the great school of prayer.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The church ... is not just to bandage the victims under the wheel, but to put a spoke in the wheel itself.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
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.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer
It is only by living completely in this world that one learns to have faith.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
In the New Testament our enemies are those who harbor hostility against us, not those against whom we cherish hostility, for Jesus refuses to reckon with such a possibility.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
What we are in ourselves, and what we owe to others makes us a complete whole.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
May God in His mercy lead us through these times but above all, may He lead us to Himself.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The church has an unconditional obligation to the victims of any ordering society, even if they do not belong to the Christian community.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Earthly goods are given to be used, not to be collected.... Hoarding is idolatry.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
When our will wholeheartedly enters into the prayer of Christ, then we pray correctly.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
It is very easy to overestimate the importance of our own achievements in comparison with what we owe others.
