More quotes by Rudolf Steiner

Image
A race or nation stands so much the higher, the more perfectly its members express the pure, ideal human type ... The evolution of man through the incarnations in ever higher national and racial forms is thus a process of liberation [leading to] an ideal future.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
The heart of the Waldorf method is that education is an art-it must speak to the child's experience. To educate the whole child, his heart and his will must be reached, as well as the mind.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
Anthroposophy does not want to impart knowledge. It seeks to awaken life.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
A real artist may create his picture in a lonely desert... gods look over his shoulder he creates in their company. What does he care whether or not anybody admires his picture?
Rudolf Steiner
Image
The sensory world is the school, without which the human being would never come to the spirit.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
Truth is a free creation of the human spirit, that never would exist at all if we did not generate it ourselves.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
Seek the truly practical life, but seek it in such a way that it does not blind you to the spirit working in it. Seek the spirit, but seek it not out of spiritual greed, but so that you may apply it in the genuinely practical life.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
Live through deeds of love, and let others live with tolerance for their unique intentions.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
In order to approach a creation as sublime as the Bhagavad-Gita with full understanding it is necessary to attune our soul to it.
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
Every human being shall see in each and all of his fellow-men a hidden divinity... that every human being is made in the likeness of the Godhead. When that time comes there will be no need for any religious coercion for then every meeting between one man and another will of itself be in the nature of a religious rite, a sacrament.
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
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
Image
Only when I follow my love for my objective is it I myself who act.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
For what lies inside of man is the whole spiritual cosmos in condensed form. In man's inner organism we have an image of the entire cosmos.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
Reverence awakens in the soul a sympathetic power through which we attract qualities in the beings around us, which would otherwise remain concealed.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
Where the realm of freedom of thought and action begin, the determination of individuals according to generic laws ends.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
The higher worlds are around us. These worlds are not only heavenly worlds, not only worlds of happiness, though paradise and happiness are in them, but they are also worlds that could be terrible for the people, by dangerous facts and creatures.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
Because of their very nature, science and logical thinking can never decide what is possible or impossible. Their only function is to explain what has been ascertained by experience and observation.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
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.
