Martin Buber
There is something that can be found in one place. It is a great treasure which may be called the fulfillment of existence. The place where this treasure can be found is the place where one stands
Martin Buber
I have to tell it again and again: I have no doctrine. I only point out something. I point out reality, I point out something in reality which has not or too little been seen.

Martin Buber
So long as you have yourself, have yourself as an object, your experience of man is only as of a thing among things.

Martin Buber

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
God dwells wherever man lets Him in.
Martin Buber
One need ask only 'What for? What am I to unify my being for?' The reply is: Not for my own sake.
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
We can be redeemed only to the extent to which we see ourselves.
Martin Buber
To him who knows how to read the legend, it conveys more truth than the chronicle.
Martin Buber
If a person kills a tree before its time, it is like having murdered a soul.-Rabbi Nachman
Martin Buber
This is the risk: the primary word can only be spoken with the whole being. He who gives himself to it may withhold nothing of himself.
Martin Buber
When a man has made peace within himself, he will be able to make peace in the whole world.
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.
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
An animal's eyes have the power to speak a great language.
