More quotes by Albert Schweitzer
Jesus means something to our world because a mighty spiritual force streams forth from him and flows through our being also. This fact can neither be shaken nor confirmed by any historical discovery. It is the solid foundation of Christianity.
Albert Schweitzer
It is only through love that we can attain to communion with God. All living knowledge of God rests upon this foundation: that we experience him in our lives as Will-to-love.
Albert Schweitzer
There slowly grew up in me an unshakable conviction that we have no right to inflict suffering and death on another living creature, unless there is some unavoidable necessity for it.
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
Soldiers' graves are the greatest preachers of peace.
Albert Schweitzer
The great fault of all ethics hitherto has been that they believed themselves to have to deal only with the relations of man to man. In reality, however, the question is what is his attitude to the world and all life that comes within his reach.
Albert Schweitzer
Hear our humble prayer, O God. Make us, ourselves, to be true friends to the animals.
Albert Schweitzer
For us the great men are not those who solved the problems, but those whodiscovered them.
Albert Schweitzer
I decided that I would make my life my argument.
Albert Schweitzer
It is through the idealism of youth that man catches sight of truth, and in that idealism he possesses a wealth which he must never exchange for anything else.
Albert Schweitzer
The great enemy of morality is indifference.
Albert Schweitzer
In the same way as the tree bears the same fruit year after year, but each time new fruit, all lastingly valuable ideas in thinking must always be reborn.
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
To work for the common good is the greatest creed.
Albert Schweitzer
I am certain and have always stressed that the destination of mankind is to become more and more humane. The ideal of humanity has to be revived.
Albert Schweitzer
What we call love is in its essence reverence for life.
Albert Schweitzer
The three most important ways to lead people are:... by example... by example... by example.
Albert Schweitzer
The ethic of Reverence for Life is the ethic of Love widened into universality.
Albert Schweitzer
In the past we have tried to make a distinction between animals which we acknowledge have some value and other which, having none, can be liquidated when we wish. This standard must be abandoned. Everything that lives has value simply as a living thing, as one of the manifestations of the mystery that is life.
Albert Schweitzer
The spirit of the age is filled with the disdain for thinking.
Albert Schweitzer
