More quotes by Albert Schweitzer

Albert Schweitzer

Albert Schweitzer
Jesus no doubt fits his teaching into the late-Jewish messianic dogma. But he does not think dogmatically. He formulates no doctrine. He is far from judging any man's belief by reference to any standard of dogmatic correctness. Nowhere does he demand of his hearers that they shall sacrifice thinking to believing.
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
Example is not the main thing in influencing others. It is the only thing.
Albert Schweitzer
Your soul suffers if you live superficially.
Albert Schweitzer
