More quotes by 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
A man is ethical only when life, as such, is sacred to him.
Albert Schweitzer
That's my private ant. You're liable to break its legs.
Albert Schweitzer
Jesus as a concrete historical personality remains a stranger to our time, but His spirit, which lies hidden in His words, is known in simplicity, and its influence is direct.
Albert Schweitzer
I do not believe that we can put into anyone ideas which are not in him already. As a rule there are in everyone all sorts of good ideas, ready like tinder. But much of this tinder catches fire, or catches it successfully, only when it meets some flame or spark from outside, i.e., from some other person.
Albert Schweitzer
It's not enough merely to exist. Every man has to seek in his own way to make his own self more noble and to relize his own true worth.
Albert Schweitzer
Train yourself never to put off the word or action for the expression of gratitude.
Albert Schweitzer
I don't know what your destiny will be, but one thing I know: the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who will have sought and found how to serve.
Albert Schweitzer
Help me to fling my life like a flaming firebrand into the gathering darkness of the world.
Albert Schweitzer
We all owe to others much of the gentleness and wisdom that we have made our own and we may well ask ourselves what will others owe to us
Albert Schweitzer
A man is ethical only when life, as such, is sacred to him, that of plants and animals as that of his fellow men, and when he devotes himself helpfully to all life that is in need of help.
Albert Schweitzer
Renunciation of thinking is a declaration of spiritual bankruptcy.
Albert Schweitzer
My life is full of meaning to me. The life around me must be full of significance to itself. If I am to expect others to respect my life, then I must respect the other life I see.
Albert Schweitzer
There is no higher religion than human service.
Albert Schweitzer
Ethics is nothing else than reverence for life.
Albert Schweitzer
The highest knowledge is to know that we are surrounded by mystery.
Albert Schweitzer
Anyone who has accustomed himself to regard the life of any living creature as worthless is in danger of arriving also at the idea of worthless human lives.
Albert Schweitzer
If you truly desire happiness, seek and learn how to serve.
Albert Schweitzer
The thinking man must oppose all cruelties no matter how deeply rooted in tradition or surrounded by a halo.
Albert Schweitzer
Thinking about death... produces love for life. When we are familiar with death, we accept each week, each day, as a gift. Only if we are able thus to accept life bit by bit does it become precious.
Albert Schweitzer
