More quotes by Albert Schweitzer

Albert Schweitzer
Example is leadership.
Albert Schweitzer
Search and see if there is not some place where you may invest your humanity.
Albert Schweitzer
Pain is a more terrible lord of mankind than even death itself.
Albert Schweitzer

Albert Schweitzer
All art speaks in signs and symbols. No one can explain how it happens that the artist can waken to life in us the existence that he has seen and lives through. No artistic speech is the adequate expression of what it represents its vital force comes from what is unspoken in it.
Albert Schweitzer

Albert Schweitzer
My life carries its own meaning in itself.
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
The gratitude that we encounter helps us believe in the goodness of the world, and strengthens us thereby to do what's good.
Albert Schweitzer
Whatever you have received more than others-in health, in talents, in ability, in success, in a pleasant childhood, in harmonious conditions of home life-all this you must not take to yourself as a matter of course. In gratitude for your good fortune, you must remember in return some sacrifice of your own life for another life.
Albert Schweitzer
If you study life deeply, its profundity will seize you suddenly with dizziness.
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
Knowing all truth is less than doing a little bit of good.
Albert Schweitzer
A good example has twice the value of good advice
Albert Schweitzer
