More quotes by 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
All journeys have secret destinations of which the traveller is unaware.
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
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
The law is not thrust upon man it rests deep within him, to waken when the call comes.
Martin Buber
Persons appear by entering into relation to other persons.
Martin Buber
The tradition of the camp fire faces that of the pyramid.
Martin Buber
God wants man to fulfill his commands as a human being and with the quality peculiar to human beings.
Martin Buber
You do not attain to knowledge by remaining on the shore and watching the foaming waves, you must make the venture and cast yourself in, you must swim, alert and with all your force, even if a moment comes when you think you are losing consciousness in this way, and in no other, do you reach anthropological insight.
Martin Buber
Without being and remaining oneself, there is no love.
Martin Buber
God is the mysterium tremendum, that appears and overthrows, but he is also the mystery of the self-evident, nearer to me than my I.
Martin Buber
A human being becomes whole not in virtue of a relation to himself [only] but rather in virtue of an authentic relation to another human being(s).
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
God dwells wherever man lets Him in.
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
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
There is no room for God in him who is full of himself.
Martin Buber
We can be redeemed only to the extent to which we see ourselves.
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
