More quotes by Dietrich Bonhoeffer
If you board the wrong train, it is no use running along the corridor in the other direction.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The restoration of the church must surely depend on a new kind of monasticism, which has nothing in common with the old but a life of uncompromising discipleship, following Christ according to the sermon on the mount. I believe the time has come to gather people together to do this.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Originally man was made in the image of God, but now his likeness to God is a stolen one. As the image of God man draws his life entirely from his origin in God, but the man who has become like God has forgotten how he was at his origin and has made himself his own creator and judge.
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
Nothing is so at odds with prayer as vanity.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Christianity means community through Jesus Christ and in Jesus Christ. No Christian community is more or less than this.

Advent creates people, new people.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Right speech comes out of silence and right silence comes out of speech.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer
...And then, just when everything is bearing down on us to such an extent that we can scarcely withstand it, the Christmas message comes to tell us that all our ideas are wrong, and that what we take to be evil and dark is really good and light because it comes from God. Our eyes are at fault, that is all.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Who among us will celebrate Christmas correctly? Whoever finally lays down all power, l honor, all reputation, all vanity, all arrogance, all individualism beside the manger whoever remains lowly and lets God alone be high whoever looks at the child in the manger and sees the glory of God precisely in his lowliness.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
A Christian is someone who shares the sufferings of God in the world.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
A righteous person is one who lives for the next generation.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Human love has little regard for the truth. It makes the truth relative, since nothing, not even the truth, must come between it and the beloved person.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
It is a blessed thing to know that no power on earth, no temptation, no human frailty can dissolve what God holds together.
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
The first call which every Christian experiences is the call to abandon the attachments of this world.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
