Dietrich Bonhoeffer

“Action springs not from thought, but from a readiness for responsibility.”

“We pray for the big things and forget to give thanks for the ordinary, small (and yet really not small) gifts.”

“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.”

“Only he who believes is obedient and only he who is obedient believes.”

“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.”

“Gratitude changes the pangs of memory into a tranquil joy.”
