More quotes by Albert Schweitzer
Cold completely introspective logic places a philosopher on the road to the abstract. Out of this empty, artificial act of thinking there can result, of course, nothing which bears on the relation of man to himself, and to the universe.
Albert Schweitzer
A man can do only what he can do. But if he does that each day he can sleep at night and do it again the next day.
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
A man is ethical only when life, as such, is sacred to him, that of plants and animals as that of his fellow men, and when he devotes himself helpfully to all life that is in need of help.
Albert Schweitzer
I do not know what your destiny may be, but I do know this, that not one of you will find the happiness that each of you is seeking until you have first sought and found a way in which to unselfishly serve others.
Albert Schweitzer
One who gains strength by overcoming obstacles possesses the only strength which can overcome adversity.
Albert Schweitzer
Example is not the main thing in influencing others. It is the only thing.
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
Only those who respect the personality of others can be of real use to them.
Albert Schweitzer
Everything deep is also simple and can be reproduced simply as long as its reference to the whole truth is maintained. But what matters is not what is witty but what is true.
Albert Schweitzer
Thought is the strongest thing we have.
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
When man learns to respect even the smallest being of creation...nobody has to teach him to love his fellow man. Compassion for animals is intimately connected with goodness of character, and it may be confidently asserted that he who is cruel to animals cannot be a good man.
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
Until he extends his circle of compassion to include all living things, man will not himself find peace.
Albert Schweitzer
Never for a moment do we lay aside our mistrust of the ideals established by society, and of the convictions which are kept by it in circulation. We always know that society is full of folly and will deceive us in the matter of humanity. ... humanity meaning consideration for the existence and the happiness of individual human beings.
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
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
For those who sincerely seek the truth should not fear the outcome.
Albert Schweitzer
By respect for life we become religious in a way that is elementary, profound and alive.
Albert Schweitzer
