In the eyes of God, the infinite spirit, all the millions that have lived and now live do not make a crowd. He only sees each individual
Soren Kierkegaard
To Dare is to risk losing your foothold for a moment, Not to Dare is to risk losing yourself.
Soren Kierkegaard
The question of immortality is of its nature not a scholarly question. It is a question welling up from the interior which the subject must put to itself as it becomes conscious of itself.
Soren Kierkegaard
The greatest danger to Christianity is, I contend, not heresies, not heterodoxies, not atheists, not profane secularism - no, but the kind of orthodoxy which is cordial drivel, mediocrity served up sweet. There is nothing that so insidiously displaces the majestic as cordiality.

When you read God's Word, you must constantly be saying to yourself, It is talking to me, and about me.
Soren Kierkegaard
The more men believe an idea to be true the greater the likelihood that the idea is mistaken. Those who are right usually stand alone.

I have just now come from a party where I was its life and soul witticisms streamed from my lips, everyone laughed and admired me, but I went away - yes, the dash should be as long as the radius of the earth's orbit ——————————— and wanted to shoot myself.
Soren Kierkegaard
I found I had less and less to say, until finally, I became silent, and began to listen. I discovered in the silence, the voice of God

Truth is not introduced into the individual from without, but was within him all the time.
Soren Kierkegaard
For the sadness in legitimate humour consists in the fact that honestly and without deceit it reflects in a purely human way upon what it is to be a child.
Soren Kierkegaard
Irony is a disciplinarian feared only by those who do not know it, but cherished by those who do
Soren Kierkegaard
To the frivolous Christianity is certainly not glad tidings, for it wishes first of all to make them serious.
Soren Kierkegaard
The self is a relation which relates itself to its own self, or it is that in the relation that the relation relates itself to its own self the self is not the relation but that the relation relates itself to its own self.
Soren Kierkegaard
The task must be made difficult, for only the difficult inspires the noble-hearted.
Soren Kierkegaard
For without risk there is no faith, and the greater the risk, the greater the faith.
Soren Kierkegaard
If you think you understand, it isn't God.
Soren Kierkegaard
It is very dangerous to go into eternity with possibilities which one has oneself prevented from becoming realities. A possibility is a hint from God. One must follow it.
Soren Kierkegaard
This is all that I've known for certain, that God is love. Even if I have been mistaken on this or that point: God is nevertheless love.
Soren Kierkegaard
During the first period of our lives the greatest danger is not to take the risk. When once the risk has been taken, then the greatest danger is to risk too much. By not risking at first one turns aside and serves trivialities in the second case, by risking too much, one turns aside to the fantastic and perhaps to presumption.
Soren Kierkegaard
A 'no' does not hide anything, but a 'yes' very easily becomes a deception.
