More quotes by Soren Kierkegaard

Soren Kierkegaard
Seek first God's Kingdom, that is, become like the lilies and the birds, become perfectly silent - then shall the rest be added unto you.
Soren Kierkegaard

Soren Kierkegaard
No one may pride himself at being more than an individual, and no one despondently think that he is not an individual.

Soren Kierkegaard
The proud person always wants to do the right thing, the great thing. But because he wants to do it in his own strength, he is fighting not with man, but with God.
Soren Kierkegaard
Death induces the sensual person to say: Let us eat and drink, because tomorrow we shall die - but this is sensuality's cowardly lust for life, that contemptible order of things where one lives in order to eat and drink instead of eating and drinking in order to live.
Soren Kierkegaard
Our life always expresses the result of our dominant thoughts.
Soren Kierkegaard
A good decision is our will to do everything we can within our power. It means to serve God with all we've got, be it little or much. Every person can do that.
Soren Kierkegaard
The task must be made difficult, for only the difficult inspires the noble-hearted.
Soren Kierkegaard
There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn't true the other is to refuse to believe what is true.
Soren Kierkegaard
People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use.
Soren Kierkegaard
The most common form of despair is not being who you are.
Soren Kierkegaard
