One act of obedience is better than one hundred sermons.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Action springs not from thought, but from a readiness for responsibility.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
A god who let us prove his existence would be an idol.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
It is the characteristic excellence of the strong man that he can bring momentous issues to the fore and make a decision about them. The weak are always forced to decide between alternatives they have not chosen themselves.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The mark of solitude is silence, as speech is the mark of community. Silence and speech have the same inner correspondence and difference as do solitude and community. One does not exist without the other. Right speech comes out of silence, and right silence comes out of speech.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
It is not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves.
