More quotes by Albert Schweitzer
We cannot possibly let ourselves get frozen into regarding everyone we do not know as an absolute stranger.
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
Be faithful to your love and you mill be recompensed beyond measure.
Albert Schweitzer
Sincerity is the foundation of the spiritual life.
Albert Schweitzer
Our age is bent on trying to make the barren tree of skepticism fruitful by tying the fruits of truth on its branches.
Albert Schweitzer
Joy, sorrow, tears, lamentation, laughter -- to all these music gives voice, but in such a way that we are transported from the world of unrest to a world of peace, and see reality in a new way, as if we were sitting by a mountain lake and contemplating hills and woods and clouds in the tranquil and fathomless water.
Albert Schweitzer
A man is ethical only when life, as such, is sacred to him.
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
To the truly ethical man, all of life is sacred, including forms of life that from the human point of view may seem lower than ours.
Albert Schweitzer
By having a reverence for life, we enter into a spiritual relation with the world By practicing reverence for life we become good, deep, and alive.
Albert Schweitzer
Not one of us knows what effect his life produces, and what he gives to others that is hidden from us and must remain so, though we are often allowed to see some little fraction of it, so that we may not lose courage.
Albert Schweitzer
I don't know what your destiny will be, but one thing I know: the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who will have sought and found how to serve.
Albert Schweitzer
Any profound view of the world is mysticism. It has, of course, to deal with life and the world, both of which are nonrational entities.
Albert Schweitzer
We are all so much together, but we are all dying of loneliness.
Albert Schweitzer
The greatest thing is to give thanks for everything. He who has learned this knows what it means to live. He has penetrated the whole mystery of life: giving thanks for everything.
Albert Schweitzer
When people have light in themselves, it will shine out from them. Then we get to know each other as we walk together in the darkness, without needing to pass our hands over each other's faces, or to intrude into each other's hearts.
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
A good example has twice the value of good advice
Albert Schweitzer
Preservation of life is the only true joy.
Albert Schweitzer
The most difficult thing I have ever had to do is follow the guidance I prayed for.
Albert Schweitzer
