Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Fruit is always the miraculous, the created it is never the result of willing, but always a growth. The fruit of the Spirit is a gift of God, and only He can produce it.

Faith without works is not faith at all, but a simple lack of obedience to God.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
If you board the wrong train, it is no use running along the corridor in the other direction.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The way to misuse our possessions is to use them as an insurance against the morrow. Anxiety is always directed to the morrow, whereas goods are in the strictest sense meant to be used only for to-day.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The Kingdom is to be in the midst of your enemies
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Every wedding must be an occasion of joy that human beings can do such great things, that they have been given such immense freedom and power to take the helm in their life's journey.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Ultimate seriousness in not without a dose of humor.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
A righteous person is one who lives for the next generation.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The word of cheap grace has been the ruin of more Christians than any commandment of works.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
We are not to simply bandage the wounds of victims beneath the wheels of injustice, we are to drive a spoke into the wheel itself.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
