More quotes by Albert Schweitzer

Image
The friend of nature is the man who feels himself inwardly united with everything that lives in nature, who shares in the fate of all creatures, helps them when he can in their pain and need, and as far as possible avoids injuring or taking life.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Love is the only thing that increases twofold every time it is shared.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
It is not always granted to the sower to see the harvest.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
We are united with all life that is in nature. Man can no longer live his life for himself alone.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
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
Image
Reverence for life, veneratio vitæ, is the most direct and at the same time the profoundest achievement of my will-to-live.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
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
Image
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
Image
We are all so much together, but we are all dying of loneliness.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Don't let your hearts grow numb. Stay alert. It is your soul which matters.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Truth has no special time of its own. Its hour is now - always.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Think occasionally of the suffering of which you spare yourself the sight.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
You ask me for a motto. Here it is: SERVICE.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Affirmation of life is the spiritual act by which man ceases to live unreflectively and begins to devote himself to his life with reverence in order to raise it to its true value. To affirm life is to deepen, to make more inward, and to exalt the will.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Today . . . we know that all living beings who strive to maintain life and who long to be spared pain - all living beings on earth - are our neighbors.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Our age is bent on trying to make the barren tree of skepticism fruitful by tying the fruits of truth on its branches.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Aim for service and success will follow!
Albert Schweitzer
Image
I must forgive without noise or fuss.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
We all know how important love is, yet how often is it really emoted or exhibited? What so many sick people in this world suffer from-loneliness, boredom and fear-can't be cured with a pill.
