More quotes by 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
If a person kills a tree before its time, it is like having murdered a soul.-Rabbi Nachman
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
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
I don't like religion much, and I am glad that in the Bible the word is not to be found.
Martin Buber
I shall teach you the best way to say Torah. You must cease to be aware of yourselves. You must be nothing but an ear that hears what the universe of the word is constantly saying within you. The moment you start hearing what you yourself are saying, YOU must stop.
Martin Buber
There is no room for God in him who is full of himself.
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
To him who knows how to read the legend, it conveys more truth than the chronicle.
Martin Buber
To love God truly, one must first love man. And if anyone tells you that he loves God and does not love his fellow-man, you will know that he is lying.
Martin Buber
When a man has made peace within himself, he will be able to make peace in the whole world.
Martin Buber
In the beginning was the relationship.
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
Everything is full of sacramental substance, everything. Each thing and each function is ever ready to light up into a sacrament.
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
One need ask only 'What for? What am I to unify my being for?' The reply is: Not for my own sake.
Martin Buber
Without being and remaining oneself, there is no love.
Martin Buber
We can be redeemed only to the extent to which we see ourselves.
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
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?
