Here are some words of wisdom from German-Israeli
Jewish existentialist philosopher Martin Buber (Ich und Du), born on
this day in 1878:
Every person born in this world represents something
new, something that never existed before, something original and unique.
Everything depends on inner change; when this has
taken place, then, and only then does the world change.
All journeys have secret destinations of which the
traveler is unaware.
The true meaning of love one's neighbor is not that it
is a command from God which we are to fulfill, but that through it and in it we
meet God.
God made so many different kinds of people; why would
God allow only one way to worship?
All real living is meeting.
Play is the exultation of the possible.
To be old can be glorious if one has not unlearned how
to begin.
The law is not thrust upon man; it rests deep within
him, to waken when the call comes.
Through the Thou a person becomes I.
