Constant kindness can accomplish much. As the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust, and hostility to evaporate.

More quotes by Albert Schweitzer
Don't let your hearts grow numb. Stay alert. It is your soul which matters.
Albert Schweitzer
For animals that are overworked, underfed, and cruelly treated for all wistful creatures in captivity that beat their wings against bars for any that are hunted or lost or deserted or frightened or hungry for all that must be put to death...and for those who deal with them we ask a heart of compassion and gentle hands and kindly words.
Albert Schweitzer
Man must cease attributing his problems to his environment, and learn again to exercise his will - his personal responsibility in the realm of faith and morals.
Albert Schweitzer
Let us rejoice in the truth, wherever we find its lamp burning.
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
The spirit of the age is filled with the disdain for thinking.
Albert Schweitzer
Example is leadership.
Albert Schweitzer
Ethics, too, are nothing but reverence for life. This is what gives me the fundamental principle of morality, namely, that good consists in maintaining, promoting, and enhancing life, and that destroying, injuring, and limiting life are evil.
Albert Schweitzer
Joy, sorrow, tears, lamentation, laughter -- to all these music gives voice, but in such a way that we are transported from the world of unrest to a world of peace, and see reality in a new way, as if we were sitting by a mountain lake and contemplating hills and woods and clouds in the tranquil and fathomless water.
Albert Schweitzer
Train yourself never to put off the word or action for the expression of gratitude.
Albert Schweitzer
One truth stands firm. All that happens in world history rests on something spiritual. If the spiritual is strong, it creates world history. If it is weak, it suffers world history.
Albert Schweitzer
Not less strong than the will to truth must be the will to sincerity. Only an age, which can show the courage of sincerity, can possess truth, which works as a spiritual force within it.
Albert Schweitzer
I look back upon my youth and realize how so many people gave me help, understanding, courage - very important things to me - and they never knew it. They entered into my life and became powers within me.
Albert Schweitzer
Think occasionally of the suffering of which you spare yourself the sight.
Albert Schweitzer
If you truly desire happiness, seek and learn how to serve.
Albert Schweitzer
The African is my brother but he is my younger brother by several centuries.
Albert Schweitzer
Ethics is in its unqualified form extended responsibility with regard to everything that has life.
Albert Schweitzer
The time will come when public opinion will no longer tolerate amusements based on the mistreatment and killing of animals. The time will come, but when? When will we reach the point that hunting, the pleasure in killing animals for sport, will be regarded as a mental aberration?
Albert Schweitzer
Every person I have known who has been truly happy has learned how to serve others.
Albert Schweitzer
The three most important ways to lead people are:... by example... by example... by example.
Albert Schweitzer
