More quotes by Frederick Buechner
In honesty you have to admit to a wise man that prayer is not for the wise, not for the prudent, not for the sophisticated.

Frederick Buechner
I believe with the best of who I am in God, but I sometimes think if anybody would watch me and [they] didn't believe a damn thing, they would have a very hard time deciding which of us is which.

If you want to be holy, be kind.
Frederick Buechner
That's five friends, one each for Jesu's wounds, and Godric bears their mark still on what's left of him as in their time they all bore his on them. What's friendship, when all's done, but the giving and taking of wounds?

If it seems a childish thing to do, do it in remembrance that you are a child.
Frederick Buechner
Envy is the consuming desire to have everybody else as unsuccessful as you are.
Frederick Buechner
Stop trying to protect, to rescue, to judge, to manage the lives around you... Remember that the lives of others are not your business. They are their business. They are God's busineess... Even your own life is not your business. It also is God's Business. Leave it to God.
