More quotes by Albert Schweitzer
It is the fate of every truth to be an object of ridicule when it is first acclaimed.
Albert Schweitzer
Do something for somebody everyday for which you do not get paid.
Albert Schweitzer
There can be no Kingdom of God in the world without the Kingdom of God in our hearts.
Albert Schweitzer
The path of awakening is not about becoming who you are. Rather it is about unbecoming who you are not.

A thinking man feels compelled to approach all life with the same reverence he has for his own.
Albert Schweitzer
Mysticism occurs whenever a human being sees the separation between the natural and the supernatural, between the temporal and the eternal, as overcome.

Albert Schweitzer
Good is that which promotes life, evil is that which destroys life

Albert Schweitzer
Truth has no special time of its own. Its hour is now - always.
Albert Schweitzer
It is not enough to merely exist. It's not enough to say, 'I'm earning enough to live and support my family. I do my work well. I'm a good parent.' That's all very well. But you must do something more.
Albert Schweitzer
I see in him (Dr. Max Gerson) one of the most eminent medical geniuses in the history of medicine...he was greatly impeded by adverse political conditions.
Albert Schweitzer
By ethical conduct toward all creatures, we enter into a spiritual relationship with the universe.
Albert Schweitzer
Day by day we should weigh what we have granted to the spirit of the world against what we have denied to the spirit of Jesus, in thought and especially in deed.
Albert Schweitzer
Cold completely introspective logic places a philosopher on the road to the abstract. Out of this empty, artificial act of thinking there can result, of course, nothing which bears on the relation of man to himself, and to the universe.
Albert Schweitzer
We need a boundless ethic, one which will include the animals, too. Until we extend the circle of his compassions to all living things, we will not find peace.
Albert Schweitzer
Love is the only thing that increases twofold every time it is shared.
Albert Schweitzer
The highest proof of the spirit is love. Love the eternal thing which can already on earth possess as it really is.
Albert Schweitzer
