| A statue of Kierkegaard in Copenhagen, Denmark |
- A man who as a physical being is always turned toward the outside, thinking that his happiness lies outside him, finally turns inward and discovers that the source is within him.
- Be that self which one truly is.
- Boredom is the root of all evil - the despairing refusal to be oneself.
- Don't forget to love yourself.
- During the first period of a man's life the greatest danger is not to take the risk.
- Face the facts of being what you are, for that is what changes what you are.
- Faith is the highest passion in a human being. Many in every generation may not come that far, but none comes further.
- Far from idleness being the root of all evil, it is rather the only true good.
- God creates out of nothing. Wonderful you say. Yes, to be sure, but he does what is still more wonderful: he makes saints out of sinners.
- How absurd men are! They never use the liberties they have, they demand those they do not have. They have freedom of thought, they demand freedom of speech.

Love Kierkegaard...our pastor at our former church back in GA used to quote him a lot! he gives you good meat for meditation. His words lend themselves to reveal.
