More quotes by Albert Schweitzer

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
Thought is the strongest thing we have. Work done by true and profound thought - that is a real force.

Therefore search and see if there is not some place where you may invest your humanity.

Albert Schweitzer
The three most important ways to lead people are:... by example... by example... by example.
Albert Schweitzer
No one may shut his eyes to think the pain, which is therefore not visible to him, is non-existent.
Albert Schweitzer
The only thing of importance, when we depart, will be the traces of love we have left behind.

I am life that wants to live, in the midst of life that wants to live.
Albert Schweitzer
I always think that we live, spiritually, By what others have given us in the significant hours of our life. These significant hours do not announce themselves as coming, but arrive unexpected.
Albert Schweitzer
When we observe contemporary society one thing strikes us. We debate but make no progress. Why? Because as peoples we do not yet trust each other.
Albert Schweitzer
All work that is worth anything is done in faith.
Albert Schweitzer
The disastrous feature of our civilization is that it is far more developed materially than spiritually. Its balance is disturbed.
Albert Schweitzer
