More quotes by Martin Buber
What is it that is eternal: the primal phenomenon, present in the here and now, of what we call revelation? It is man's emerging from the moment of the supreme encounter, being no longer the same as he was when entering into it.
Martin Buber
Nothing can doom man but the belief in doom, for this prevents the movement of return.
Martin Buber
As long as the firmament of the You is spread over me, the tempests of causality cower at my heels, and whirl of doom congeals.
Martin Buber
The law is not thrust upon man it rests deep within him, to waken when the call comes.
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
The prophet is appointed to oppose the kind, and even more: history.
Martin Buber
When we rise out of [the night] into the new life and there begin to receive the signs, what can we know of that which - of him who gives them to us? Only what we experience from time to time from the signs themselves. If we name the speaker of this speech God, then it is always the God of a moment, a moment God.
Martin Buber
The ones who count are those persons who - though they may be of little renown - respond to and are responsible for the continuation of the living spirit.
Martin Buber
Feeling one has love occurs.
Martin Buber
When a man grows aware of a new way in which to serve God, he should carry it around with him secretly, and without uttering it, for nine months, as though he were pregnant with it, and let others know of it only at the end of that time, as though it were a birth.
Martin Buber
To him who knows how to read the legend, it conveys more truth than the chronicle.
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
Everything is full of sacramental substance, everything. Each thing and each function is ever ready to light up into a sacrament.
Martin Buber
All actual life is encounter.
Martin Buber
We may listen to our inner self-and still not know which ocean we hear roaring.
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
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
Before his death, Rabbi Zusya said In the coming world, they will not ask me: 'Why were you not Moses?' They will ask me: 'Why were you not Zusya?
Martin Buber
I think no human being can give more than this. Making life possible for the other, if only for a moment.
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.
