"The test of the morality of a society is what it does for its children." ― Dietrich Bonhoeffer Topic(s): Society More From Dietrich Bonhoeffer "Politics are not the task of a Christian." "The essence of optimism is that it takes no account of the present, but it is a source of inspiration, of vitality and hope where others have resigned; it enables a man to hold his head high, to claim the future for himself and not to abandon it to his enemy." "God’s truth judges created things out of love, and Satan’s truth judges them out of envy and hatred."
