Dietrich Bonhoeffer quotes

God's truth judges created things out of love, and Satan's truth judges them out of envy and hatred.

We must learn to regard people less in light of what they do or omit to do, and more in the light of what they suffer.

God's truth judges created things out of love, and Satan's truth judges them out of envy and hatred.

The essence of optimism is that it takes no account of the present, but it is a source of inspiration, of vitality and hope where others have resigned; it enables a man to hold his head high, to claim the future for himself and not to abandon it to his enemy.

Human love has little regard for the truth. It makes the truth relative, since nothing, not even the truth, must come between it and the beloved person.

Politics are not the task of a Christian.

The ultimate test of a moral society is the kind of world that it leaves to its children.

Gratitude changes the pangs of memory into a tranquil joy.

The essence of optimism is that it takes no account of the present, but it is a source of inspiration, of vitality and hope where others have resigned; it enables a man to hold his head high, to claim the future for himself and not to abandon it to his enemy.
