More quotes by Albert Schweitzer
Good is that which promotes life, evil is that which destroys life
Albert Schweitzer

Albert Schweitzer

Albert Schweitzer

Albert Schweitzer
Man is a clever animal who behaves like an imbecile.
Albert Schweitzer
A man is truly ethical only when he obeys the compulsion to help all life which he is able to assist, and shrinks from injuring anything that lives.
Albert Schweitzer
The friend of nature is the man who feels himself inwardly united with everything that lives in nature, who shares in the fate of all creatures, helps them when he can in their pain and need, and as far as possible avoids injuring or taking life.
Albert Schweitzer
There can be no Kingdom of God in the world without the Kingdom of God in our hearts.
Albert Schweitzer
