Top 10 most inspiring quotes by Frederick Buechner
- The place God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet.
- Life is grace. Sleep is forgiveness. The night absolves. Darkness wipes the slate clean, not spotless to be sure, but clean enough for another day’s chalking.
- The grace of God means something like: Here is your life. You might never have been, but you are because the party wouldn’t have been complete without you.
- Doubts are the ants in the pants of faith. They keep it awake and moving.
- The life I touch for good or ill will touch another life, and in turn another, until who knows where the trembling stops or in what far place my touch will be felt.
- It is as impossible for man to demonstrate the existence of God as it would be for even Sherlock Holmes to demonstrate the existence of Arthur Conan Doyle.
- A miracle is when the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. A miracle is when one plus one equals a thousand.
- The place to which God calls you is the place where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet.
- Thus, when you wake up in the morning, called by God to be a self again, if you want to know who you are, watch your feet. Because where your feet take you, that is who you are.
- If you don’t have doubts you’re either kidding yourself or asleep. Doubts are the ants-in-the-pants of faith. They keep it alive and moving.
