More quotes by Albert Schweitzer
We are compelled by the commandment of love contained in our hearts and thought, and proclaimed by Jesus, to give rein to our natural sympathy for animals. We are also compelled to help them and spare them suffering.
Albert Schweitzer
A man is truly ethical only when he obeys the compulsion to help all life which he is able to assist, and shrinks from injuring anything that lives.
Albert Schweitzer
Let us rejoice in the truth, wherever we find its lamp burning.
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
Thought is the strongest thing we have. Work done by true and profound thought - that is a real force.
Albert Schweitzer
It seemed to me a matter of course that we should all take our share of the burden of pain which lies upon the world.
Albert Schweitzer
In resigning ourselves to our fate without a struggle, we are guilty of inhumanity.
Albert Schweitzer
Our degeneration, when it is traced back to its origin in our view of the world really consists in the fact that true optimism has vanished unperceived from our midst.
Albert Schweitzer
The witch doctor succeeds for the same reason all the rest of us succeed. Each patient carries his or her own doctor inside him or her. They come to us not knowing that truth. We are at our best when we give the doctor who resides within each patient a chance to go to work.
Albert Schweitzer
If the extension of your compassion does not include all living beings, then you will be unable to find peace by yourself.
Albert Schweitzer
We are united with all life that is in nature. Man can no longer live his life for himself alone.
Albert Schweitzer
Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.
Albert Schweitzer
If a man loses his reverence for any part of life, he will lose his reverence for all of life.
Albert Schweitzer
One person can and does make a difference.
Albert Schweitzer
There can be no Kingdom of God in the world without the Kingdom of God in our hearts.
Albert Schweitzer
I too had thoughts once of being an intellectual, but I found it too difficult.
Albert Schweitzer
You don't live in a world all alone. Your brothers are here too.
Albert Schweitzer
Aim for service and success will follow!
Albert Schweitzer
The Christ of Theology is not alive for us today. He is wrapped in the grave cloths of dogma.
Albert Schweitzer
What the activity of this disposition of ours means in the evolution of the world, we do not know. Nor can we regulate this activity from outside we must leave entirely to each individual its shaping and its extension. From every point of view, then, world- and life-affirmation and ethics are non-rational, and we must have the courage to admit it.
Albert Schweitzer
