More quotes by Martin Buber
All actual life is encounter.
Martin Buber
When a man has made peace within himself, he will be able to make peace in the whole world.
Martin Buber
We may listen to our inner self-and still not know which ocean we hear roaring.
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
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
We can be redeemed only to the extent to which we see ourselves.
Martin Buber
God made so many different kinds of people why would God allow only one way to worship?
Martin Buber
If a person kills a tree before its time, it is like having murdered a soul.-Rabbi Nachman
Martin Buber
Creation happens to us, burns into us, changes us, we tremble and swoon, we submit. Creation - we participate in it, we encounter the creator, offer ourselves to him, helpers and companions.
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
The salvation of man does not lie in his holding himself far removed from the worldly, but in consecrating it to holy, to divine meaning.
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
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
In spite of all similarities, every living situation has, like a newborn child, a new face, that has never been before and will never come again. It demands of you a reaction that cannot be prepared beforehand. It demands nothing of what is past. It demands presence, responsibility it demands you.
Martin Buber
An animal's eyes have the power to speak a great language.
Martin Buber
The beating heart of the universe is holy joy.
Martin Buber
The future stands in need of you in order to be born.
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
The tradition of the camp fire faces that of the pyramid.
Martin Buber
Every morning, I shall concern myself anew about the boundary, Between the love-deed-Yes and the power-deed-No, And pressing forward honor reality. We cannot avoid, Using power, Cannot escape the compulsion, To afflict the world, So let us, cautious in diction, And mighty in contradiction, Love powerfully.
Martin Buber
