Neighbourliness is not a quality in other people, it is simply their claim on ourselves.
Dietrich BonhoefferThe biggest mistake you can make in your life is to be always afraid of making a mistake.
Dietrich BonhoefferStill more pathetic is the total collapse of moral fanaticism. Fanatics think that their single-minded principles qualify them to do battle with the powers of evil; but like a bull they rush at the red cloak instead of the person who is holding it; he exhausts himself and is beaten. He gets entangled in non-essentials and falls into the trap set by cleverer people.
