More quotes by Martin Buber
The beating heart of the universe is holy joy.
Martin Buber
When two people relate to each other authentically and humanly, God is the electricity that surges between them.
Martin Buber
What you must do is love your neighbor as yourself. There is no one who knows your many faults better than you! But you love yourself notwithstanding. And so you must love your neighbor, no matter how many faults you see in him.
Martin Buber
The true meaning of love one's neighbor is not that it is a command from God which we are to fulfill, but that through it and in it we meet God.
Martin Buber
We should also pray for the wicked among the peoples of the world we should love them too.
Martin Buber
It pains me to speak of God in the third person.
Martin Buber
All actual life is encounter.
Martin Buber
Real faith means holding ourselves open to the unconditional mystery which we encounter in every sphere of our life and which cannot be comprised in any formula. Real faith means the ability to endure life in the face of this mystery.
Martin Buber
Every man's foremost task is the actualization of his unique, unprecedented and never-recurring potentialities, and not the repetition of something that another, and be it even the greatest, has already achieved.
Martin Buber
I don't like religion much, and I am glad that in the Bible the word is not to be found.
Martin Buber
And if there were a devil it would not be one who decided against God, but one who, in eternity, came to no decision.
Martin Buber
God dwells wherever man lets Him in.
Martin Buber
What has to be given up is not the I, as most mystics suppose: this I is indispensable for any relationship, including the highest, which always presupposes an I and You.
Martin Buber
One must be truly able to say I in order to know the mystery of the Thou in its whole truth.
Martin Buber
Everyone has in him something precious that is in no one else.
Martin Buber
Egos appear by setting themselves apart from other egos.Persons appear byentering into relationwith other persons.
Martin Buber
No limits are set to the ascent of man, and to each and everyone the highest stands open. Here it is only your personal choice that decides.
Martin Buber
Persons appear by entering into relation to other persons.
Martin Buber
No purpose intervenes between I and You, no greed and no anticipation and longing itself is changed as it plunges from the dream into appearance. Every means is an obstacle. Only where all means have disintegrated encounters occur.
Martin Buber
Only men who are capable of saying Thou [an attitude of deep respect] to one another can truly say we with one another.
Martin Buber
