More quotes by Albert Schweitzer
Any religion or philosophy which is not based on a respect for life is not a true religion or philosophy.
Albert Schweitzer
Man can hardly even recognize the devils of his own creation.
Albert Schweitzer
Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.
Albert Schweitzer
Very little of the great cruelty shown by men can really be attributed to cruel instinct. Most of it comes from thoughtlessness or inherited habit. Extract from 'Memories of childhood and youth.'
Albert Schweitzer
The tragedy of life is what dies inside a man while he lives.
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
Man's ethics must not end with man, but should extend to the universe. He must regain the consciousness of the great Chain of Life from which he cannot be separated.
Albert Schweitzer
A man does not have to be an angel in order to be saint.

Albert Schweitzer
Wherever you turn, you can find someone who needs you. Even if it is a little thing, do something for which there is no pay but the privilege of doing it. Remember, you don't live in a world all of your own
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
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
Happiness is the only thing that multiplies when you share it.
Albert Schweitzer
Only when an ideal of peace is born in the minds of the peoples will the institutions set up to maintain this peace effectively fulfill the function expected of them.
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
The only way out of today's misery is for people to become worthy of each other's trust.
Albert Schweitzer
Thought is the strongest thing we have.
Albert Schweitzer
I have always held firmly to the thought that each one of us can do a little to bring some portion of misery to an end.
Albert Schweitzer
Your soul suffers if you live superficially.
Albert Schweitzer
