More quotes by Martin Buber
All real living is meeting.
Martin Buber
The world is not divine sport, it is divine destiny. There is a divine meaning of the world, of man, of human persons, of you and me.
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
There are three principles in a man's being and life, the principle of thought, the principle of speech, and the principle of action. The origin of all conflict between me and my fellow-men is that I do not say what I mean and I don't do what I say.
Martin Buber
Our relationships live in the space between us which is sacred.
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
It pains me to speak of God in the third person.
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
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
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
Man wishes to be confirmed in his being by man, and wishes to have a presence in the being of the other…. Secretly and bashfully he watches for a YES which allows him to be and which can come to him only from one human person to another.
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 journeys have secret destinations of which the traveller is unaware.
Martin Buber
The future stands in need of you in order to be born.
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
In the ice of solitude man becomes most inexorably a question to himself, and just because the question pitilessly summons and draws into play his most secret life he becomes an experience to himself.
Martin Buber
All actual life is encounter.
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
Real faith means holding ourselves open to the unconditional mystery which we encounter in every sphere of our life and which cannot be comprised in any formula. Real faith means the ability to endure life in the face of this mystery.
Martin Buber
The law is not thrust upon man it rests deep within him, to waken when the call comes.
Martin Buber
