I still remain convinced that truth, love, peaceableness, meekness, and kindness are the violence which can master all other violence. The world will be theirs as soon as ever a sufficient number of people with purity of heart, with strength, and with perseverance think and live out the thoughts of love and truth, of meekness and peaceableness.
Albert Schweitzer
Any religion or philosophy which is not based on a respect for life is not a true religion or philosophy.

Albert Schweitzer
A heavy guilt rests upon us for what the whites of all nations have done to the colored peoples. When we do good to them, it is not benevolence--it is atonement.
Albert Schweitzer
The city of truth cannot be built on the swampy ground of skepticism.
Albert Schweitzer
The tragedy of life is what dies inside a man while he lives.
Albert Schweitzer
The great secret of success is to go through life as a person who never gets used up. That is possible for those who never argue and strive with people and facts, but in all experience retires upon themselves, and look for the ultimate cause of things in themselves.
Albert Schweitzer
Any profound view of the world is mysticism. It has, of course, to deal with life and the world, both of which are nonrational entities.
Albert Schweitzer
