More quotes by Albert Schweitzer
Living truth is that alone which has its origins in thinking. Just as a tree bears year after year the same fruit which is each year new, so must all permanently valuable ideas be continually born again in thought.
Albert Schweitzer
Reverence for life is the highest court of appeal.
Albert Schweitzer
Love ... is a living reality.
Albert Schweitzer
Jesus no doubt fits his teaching into the late-Jewish messianic dogma. But he does not think dogmatically. He formulates no doctrine. He is far from judging any man's belief by reference to any standard of dogmatic correctness. Nowhere does he demand of his hearers that they shall sacrifice thinking to believing.
Albert Schweitzer
When we observe contemporary society one thing strikes us. We debate but make no progress. Why? Because as peoples we do not yet trust each other.
Albert Schweitzer
Nature compels us to recognize the fact of mutual dependence, each life necessarily helping the other lives who are linked to it. In the very fibers of our being, we bear within ourselves the fact of the solidarity of life.
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
Serious illness doesn't bother me for long because I am too inhospitable a host.
Albert Schweitzer
The deeper we look into nature, the more we recognize that it is full of life, and the more profoundly we know that all life is a secret and that we are united with all life that is in nature.
Albert Schweitzer
The only thing of importance, when we depart, will be the traces of love we have left behind.
Albert Schweitzer
The greatest living person in the world is some individual who at this very moment has gone in love to help another.
Albert Schweitzer
I am life which wants to live admidst of lives that want to live.
Albert Schweitzer
We must fight against the spirit of unconscious cruelty with which we treat the animals. Animals suffer as much as we do. True humanity does not allow us to impose such sufferings on them. It is our duty to make the whole world recognize it. Until we extend our circle of compassion to all living things, humanity will not find peace.
Albert Schweitzer
Whatever you have received more than others-in health, in talents, in ability, in success, in a pleasant childhood, in harmonious conditions of home life-all this you must not take to yourself as a matter of course. In gratitude for your good fortune, you must remember in return some sacrifice of your own life for another life.
Albert Schweitzer
By ethical conduct toward all creatures, we enter into a spiritual relationship with the universe.
Albert Schweitzer
We cannot abdicate our conscience to an organization, nor to a government.
Albert Schweitzer
Knowing all truth is less than doing a little bit of good.
Albert Schweitzer
Preservation of life is the only true joy.
Albert Schweitzer
All people are endowed with the faculty of compassion, and for this reason can develop the humanitarian spirit.
Albert Schweitzer
Think occasionally of the suffering of which you spare yourself the sight.
Albert Schweitzer
