More quotes by Albert Schweitzer
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
The harvested fields bathed in the autumn mist speak of God and his goodness far more vividly than any human lips.
Albert Schweitzer
It's not enough merely to exist. Every man has to seek in his own way to make his own self more noble and to relize his own true worth.
Albert Schweitzer
Anyone who proposes to do good must not expect people to roll stones out of his way, but must accept his lot calmly if they even roll a few more on it. A strength which becomes clearer and stronger through experiences of such obstacles is the only strength that can conquer them. Resistance is only a waste of strength.
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
At that point in life where your talent meets the needs of the world, that is where God wants you to be.
Albert Schweitzer
To me, good health is more than just exercise and diet. Its really a point of view and a mental attitude you have about yourself.
Albert Schweitzer
Where possible Paul avoids quoting the teaching of Jesus, in fact even mentioning it. If we had to rely on Paul, we should not know that Jesus taught in parables, had delivered the sermon on the mount, and had taught His disciples the 'Our Father.' Even where they are specially relevant, Paul passes over the words of the Lord.
Albert Schweitzer
Faith which refuses to face indisputable facts is but little faith. Truth is always gain, however hard it is to accommodate ourselves to it. To linger in any kind of untruth proves to be a departure from the straight way of faith.
Albert Schweitzer
Don't blame, forgive, All healing is self-healing
Albert Schweitzer
Every start on an untrodden path is a venture which only in unusual circumstances looks sensible and likely to succeed.
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
To educate yourself for the feeling of gratitude means to take nothing for granted.
Albert Schweitzer
I must forgive without noise or fuss.
Albert Schweitzer
Thought is the strongest thing we have.
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
Anyone who has accustomed himself to regard the life of any living creature as worthless is in danger of arriving also at the idea of worthless human lives.
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
Constant kindness can accomplish much. As the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust, and hostility to evaporate.
Albert Schweitzer
The most difficult thing I have ever had to do is follow the guidance I prayed for.
Albert Schweitzer
