Dietrich Bonhoeffer - P1

A god who let us prove his existence would be an idol.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer

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

Gratitude changes the pangs of memory into a tranquil joy.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer

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.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer

If you board the wrong train, it is no use running along the corridor in the other direction.
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

It is the nature, and the advantage, of strong people that they can bring out the crucial questions and form a clear opinion about them. The weak always have to decide between alternatives that are not their own.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
