More quotes by Albert Schweitzer
Most men are scantily nourished on a modicum of happiness and a number of empty thoughts which life lays on their plates. They are kept in the road of life through stern necessity by elemental duties which they cannot avoid.
Albert Schweitzer
The last fact which knowledge can discover is that the world is a manifestation, and in every way a puzzling manifestation, of the universal will to live.
Albert Schweitzer
From naive simplicity we arrive at more profound simplicity.
Albert Schweitzer
When man learns to respect even the smallest being of creation...nobody has to teach him to love his fellow man. Compassion for animals is intimately connected with goodness of character, and it may be confidently asserted that he who is cruel to animals cannot be a good man.
Albert Schweitzer
Search and see if there is not some place where you may invest your humanity.
Albert Schweitzer
We must all die. But that I can save him from days of torture, that is what I feel as my great and ever new privilege. Pain is a more terrible lord of mankind than even death itself.
Albert Schweitzer
You ask me for a motto. Here it is: SERVICE.
Albert Schweitzer
Only when an ideal of peace is born in the minds of the peoples will the institutions set up to maintain this peace effectively fulfill the function expected of them.
Albert Schweitzer
Affirmation of the world, which means affirmation of the will-to-live that manifests itself around me, is only possible if I devote myself to other life.
Albert Schweitzer
The gratitude that we encounter helps us believe in the goodness of the world, and strengthens us thereby to do what's good.
Albert Schweitzer
No man need fear death, he need fear only that he may die without having known his greatest power: the power of his free will to give his life for others
Albert Schweitzer
When people have light in themselves, it will shine out from them. Then we get to know each other as we walk together in the darkness, without needing to pass our hands over each other's faces, or to intrude into each other's hearts.
Albert Schweitzer
It seemed incredible to me, that physical courage should be so commonplace and revered, while moral courage . . . is so rare and despised.
Albert Schweitzer
In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.
Albert Schweitzer
Just as white light consists of colored rays, so reverence for life contains all the components of ethics: love, kindliness, sympathy, empathy, peacefulness and power to forgive.
Albert Schweitzer
Profound love demands a deep conception and out of this develops reverence for the mystery of life. It brings us close to all beings, to the poorest and smallest as well as all others.
Albert Schweitzer
One person can and does make a difference.
Albert Schweitzer
We are united with all life that is in nature. Man can no longer live his life for himself alone.
Albert Schweitzer
A man is truly ethical only when he obeys the compulsion to help all life which he is able to assist, and shrinks from injuring anything that lives.
Albert Schweitzer
Impart as much as you can of your spiritual being to those who are on the road with you, and accept as something precious what comes back to you from them.
Albert Schweitzer
