Rudolf Steiner

Most naughtiness arises because the children are bored and lack a relationship with the teacher.
Rudolf Steiner

Anthroposophy does not want to impart knowledge. It seeks to awaken life.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
If we do not believe within ourselves this deeply rooted feeling that there is something higher than ourselves, we shall never find the strength to evolve into something higher.
Rudolf Steiner

When the past has taught us that we have more within us than we have ever used, our prayer is a cry to the divine to come to us and fill us with its power.

Only when I follow my love for my objective is it I myself who act.

Rudolf Steiner

One can only understand history and all of social life, including today’s social life, if one pays attention to people’s racial characteristics. And one can only understand all that is spiritual in the correct sense if one first examines how this spiritual element operates within people precisely through the color of their skin.
Rudolf Steiner

Spirit is never without matter, matter is never without spirit.
Rudolf Steiner

Rudolf Steiner
Image
If man wants to obtain knowledge of the greatness and happiness of these worlds, then is nothing else possible than that he also will be introduced to the dangerous, with the fearfulness that they contain. One is not possible without the other.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
The stars spoke once to man. It is world destiny That they are silent now. To be aware of the silence Can become pain for earthly man. But in the deepening silence There grows and ripens What man speaks to the stars.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
Geometry is knowledge that appears to be produced by human beings, yet whose meaning is totally independent of them.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
Thoughts that deny reincarnation are transformed in the next life into an inner unreality, an inner emptiness of life this inner unreality and emptiness are experienced as torment, as disharmony.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
The sun with loving light makes bright for me each day, the soul with spirit power gives strength unto my limbs. In sunlight shining clear I revere, Oh God, the strength of humankind, which thou has planted in my soul, that I may with all my might, may love to work and learn. From thee stream light and strength to thee rise love and thanks.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
We differ from one another in our individual gifts which, however, belong to our inner nature.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
Love is higher than opinion. If people love one another the most varied opinions can be reconciled - thus one of the most important tasks for humankind today and in the future is that we should learn to live together and understand one another. If this human fellowship is not achieved, all talk of development is empty.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
The task of understanding is not to replicate in conceptual form something that already exists, but rather to create a wholly new realm, that together with the world given to our senses constitutes the fullness of reality.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
The science of the future will be based on sympathetic vibrations.
