More quotes by Martin Buber
Everyone has in him something precious that is in no one else.

God made so many different kinds of people why would God allow only one way to worship?
Martin Buber

Martin Buber
It pains me to speak of God in the third person.

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
Persons appear by entering into relation to other persons.
Martin Buber
When a man has made peace within himself, he will be able to make peace in the whole world.
Martin Buber
The prophet is appointed to oppose the kind, and even more: history.
Martin Buber
Feeling one has love occurs.
Martin Buber
To look away from the world, or to stare at it, does not help a man to reach God but he who sees the world in Him stands in His presence.
Martin Buber
When people come to you for help, do not turn them off with pious words, saying, 'Have faith and take your troubles to God.' Act instead as though there were no God, as though there were only one person in the world who could help -- only yourself.
