2 Quotes by Eberhard Bethge

The sin of respectable people reveals itself in flight from responsibility.

These are times, moreover, when we shall learn again to make those pleas with which the Lord’s Prayer begins: Hallowed be thy name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done. By these we learn to forget ourselves and our personal condition and to hold them as of little account. How are we to remain steadfast so long as we remain so important to ourselves? – Dietrich Bonhoeffer.
