We have to build a better man before we can build a better society.

Faith as the state of being ultimately concerned implies love, namely, the desire and urge toward the reunion of the seperated.

Faith consists in being vitally concerned with that ultimate reality to which I give the symbolical name of God. Whoever reflects earnestly on the meaning of life is on the verge of an act of faith.

The courage to be is rooted in the God who appears when God has disappeared in the anxiety of doubt.

Existential anxiety of doubt drives the person toward the creation of certitude of systems of meaning, which are supported by tradition and authority. Neurotic anxiety builds a narrow castle of certitude which can be defended with the utmost certainty.

Man is not what he believes himself to be in his conscious decisions.

Man and nature belong together in their created glory – in their tragedy and in their salvation.
