More quotes by Albert Schweitzer
A good example has twice the value of good advice
Albert Schweitzer
All the kindness which a man puts out into the world works on the heart and thoughts of mankind.
Albert Schweitzer
If the extension of your compassion does not include all living beings, then you will be unable to find peace by yourself.
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
The city of truth cannot be built on the swampy ground of skepticism.
Albert Schweitzer
Every person I have known who has been truly happy has learned how to serve others.
Albert Schweitzer
Man has become a superman ... because he not only disposes oinnate, physical forces, but because he is in command ... olatent forces in nature and because he can put them to his service.... But the essential fact we must surely all feel in our hearts ... is that we are becoming inhuman in proportion as we become supermen.
Albert Schweitzer
The result of the voyage does not depend on the speed of the ship, but on whether or not it keeps a true course.
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
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

Albert Schweitzer
Whoever is spared personal pain must feel himself called to help in diminishing the pain of others. We must all carry our share of the misery which lies upon the world.
Albert Schweitzer
Every start on an untrodden path is a venture which only in unusual circumstances looks sensible and likely to succeed.
Albert Schweitzer
Because I have confidence in the power of truth and in the spirit, I believe in the future of mankind. Affirmation of the world and of life contains within itself an optimistic willing and hoping which can never be lost. It is, therefore, never afraid to face the dismal reality and to see it as it really is.
Albert Schweitzer
At that point in life where your talent meets the needs of the world, that is where God wants you to be.
Albert Schweitzer
The highest knowledge is to know that we are surrounded by mystery. Neither knowledge nor hope for the future can be the pivot of our life or determine its direction. It is intended to be solely determined by our allowing ourselves to be gripped by the ethical God, who reveals Himself in us, and by our yielding our will to His.
Albert Schweitzer
To me, good health is more than just exercise and diet. Its really a point of view and a mental attitude you have about yourself.
Albert Schweitzer
There can be no Kingdom of God in the world without the Kingdom of God in our hearts.
Albert Schweitzer
I am life which wants to live admidst of lives that want to live.
Albert Schweitzer
The spirit of the age is filled with the disdain for thinking.
Albert Schweitzer
