More quotes by Albert Schweitzer

Albert Schweitzer
The gratitude ascending from man to God is the supreme transaction between earth and heaven.
Albert Schweitzer
The the question whether I am a pessimist or an optimist, I answer that my knowledge is pessimistic, but my willing and hope are optimistic.
Albert Schweitzer
Happiness is nothing more than good health and a bad memory.
Albert Schweitzer
You must learn to understand the secret of gratitude. It is more than just so-called virtue. It is revealed to you as a mysterious law of existence. In obedience to it we have to fulfill our destiny.
Albert Schweitzer
Do something wonderful, people may imitate it.
Albert Schweitzer
No ray of sunlight is ever lost, but the green which it awakes into existence needs time to sprout, and it is not always granted to the sower to see the harvest. All work that is worth anything is done in faith.
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 purpose of human life is to serve, and to show compassion and the will to help others.
Albert Schweitzer
Within every patient there resides a doctor, and we as physicians are at our best when we we put our patients in touch with the doctor inside themselves.
Albert Schweitzer
Mysticism occurs whenever a human being sees the separation between the natural and the supernatural, between the temporal and the eternal, as overcome.
Albert Schweitzer
Creative energy is the essence of all healing...We physicians do nothing, we only help and encourage the physician within.
Albert Schweitzer
In the past we have tried to make a distinction between animals which we acknowledge have some value and other which, having none, can be liquidated when we wish. This standard must be abandoned. Everything that lives has value simply as a living thing, as one of the manifestations of the mystery that is life.
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
Man is a clever animal who behaves like an imbecile.
Albert Schweitzer
Who shall enumerate the many ways in which that costly piece of fixed capital, a human being , may be employed! More of him is wanted everywhere! Hunt, then, for some situation in which your humanity may be used.
Albert Schweitzer
God much are the truly wealthy. So our inner happiness depends not on what we experience but on the degree of our gratitude to God, Gratitude — the Secret of Life.
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
All people are endowed with the faculty of compassion, and for this reason can develop the humanitarian spirit.
Albert Schweitzer
Anyone who proposes to do good must not expect people to roll stones out of his way, but must accept his lot calmly if they even roll a few more on it. A strength which becomes clearer and stronger through experiences of such obstacles is the only strength that can conquer them. Resistance is only a waste of strength.
Albert Schweitzer
