More quotes by Albert Schweitzer
Knowing all truth is less than doing a little bit of good.
Albert Schweitzer
Reincarnation contains a most comforting explanation of reality by means of which Indian thought surmounts difficulties which baffle the thinkers of Europe.
Albert Schweitzer
Reverence for life, veneratio vitæ, is the most direct and at the same time the profoundest achievement of my will-to-live.
Albert Schweitzer
The greatest living person in the world is some individual who at this very moment has gone in love to help another.
Albert Schweitzer
The true worth of a man is not to be found in man himself, but in the colours and textures that come alive in others.
Albert Schweitzer
Preservation of life is the only true joy.
Albert Schweitzer
Do something wonderful, people may imitate it.
Albert Schweitzer
Pablo Casals is a great musician in all he does: a cellist without equal, and extraordinary conductor and composer with something to say. I have been profoundly impressed by all I have heard of his work, but he is a musician of this stature because he is also a great man.
Albert Schweitzer
Ethical existence [is] the highest manifestation of spirituality.
Albert Schweitzer
Ethics, too, are nothing but reverence for life. This is what gives me the fundamental principle of morality, namely, that good consists in maintaining, promoting, and enhancing life, and that destroying, injuring, and limiting life are evil.
Albert Schweitzer
The last fact which knowledge can discover is that the world is a manifestation, and in every way a puzzling manifestation, of the universal will to live.
Albert Schweitzer
Happiness is nothing more than good health and a bad memory.
Albert Schweitzer
The great secret of success is to go through life as a man who never gets used to failing.
Albert Schweitzer
The path of awakening is not about becoming who you are. Rather it is about unbecoming who you are not.
Albert Schweitzer
There slowly grew up in me an unshakable conviction that we have no right to inflict suffering and death on another living creature, unless there is some unavoidable necessity for it.
Albert Schweitzer
It's supposed to be a secret, but I'll tell you anyway. We doctors do nothing. We only help. And encourage the doctor within.
Albert Schweitzer
Pain is a more terrible lord of mankind than even death itself.
Albert Schweitzer
What has been presented as Christianity during these nineteen centuries is only a beginning, full of mistakes, not full blown Christianity springing from the spirit of Jesus.
Albert Schweitzer
Nature compels us to recognize the fact of mutual dependence, each life necessarily helping the other lives who are linked to it. In the very fibers of our being, we bear within ourselves the fact of the solidarity of life.
Albert Schweitzer
A man is ethical only when life, as such, is sacred to him.
Albert Schweitzer
