More quotes by Albert Schweitzer
It doesn't matter if an animal can reason. It matters only that it is capable of suffering and that is why I consider it my neighbor.
Albert Schweitzer
Reverence for life brings us into a spiritual relation with the world which is independent of all knowledge of the universe.
Albert Schweitzer
Never say there is nothing beautiful in the world anymore. There is always something to make you wonder in the shape of a tree, the trembling of a leaf.
Albert Schweitzer
The Bhagavad-Gita has a profound influence on the spirit of mankind by its devotion to God which is manifested by actions.
Albert Schweitzer
There is much coldness among men because we do not dare to be as cordial as we really are.
Albert Schweitzer
I too had thoughts once of being an intellectual, but I found it too difficult.
Albert Schweitzer
A man can do only what he can do. But if he does that each day he can sleep at night and do it again the next day.
Albert Schweitzer
Does my behavior in respect of love affect nothing? That is because there is not enough love in me.
Albert Schweitzer
Your life is something opaque, not transparent, as long as you look at it in an ordinary human way. But if you hold it up against the light of God's goodness, it shines and turns transparent, radiant and bright. And then you ask yourself in amazement: Is this really my own life I see before me?
Albert Schweitzer
Ethics is nothing else than reverence for life.
Albert Schweitzer
I am life that wants to live, in the midst of life that wants to live.
Albert Schweitzer
A good example has twice the value of good advice
Albert Schweitzer
Aim for service and success will follow!
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
The quiet conscience is the invention of the devil. No one of us may permit any preventable pain to be inflicted even though the responsibility for that pain is not ours. No one may shut his eyes and think that the pain which is therefore not visible, is non-existent.
Albert Schweitzer
The great secret of success is to go through life as a person who never gets used up. That is possible for those who never argue and strive with people and facts, but in all experience retires upon themselves, and look for the ultimate cause of things in themselves.
Albert Schweitzer
My life is full of meaning to me. The life around me must be full of significance to itself. If I am to expect others to respect my life, then I must respect the other life I see.
Albert Schweitzer
True philosophy must start from the most immediate and comprehensive fact of consciousness: I am life that wants to live, in the midst of life that wants to live.
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
All the kindness which a man puts out into the world works on the heart and thoughts of mankind.
Albert Schweitzer
