More quotes by Albert Schweitzer
To work for the common good is the greatest creed.
Albert Schweitzer
We cannot abdicate our conscience to an organization, nor to a government. 'Am I my brother's keeper?' Most certainly I am! I cannot escape my responsibility by saying the State will do all that is necessary. It is a tragedy that nowadays so many think and feel otherwise.
Albert Schweitzer
There can be no Kingdom of God in the world without the Kingdom of God in our hearts.
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
Life becomes harder for us when we live for others, but it also becomes richer and happier.
Albert Schweitzer
If you truly desire happiness, seek and learn how to serve.
Albert Schweitzer
At 20 everyone has the face that God gave them, at 40 the face that life gave them, and at 60 the face they earned.
Albert Schweitzer
You don't live in a world all alone. Your brothers are here too.
Albert Schweitzer
Aim for service and success will follow!
Albert Schweitzer
In modern European thought a tragedy is occurring in that the original bonds uniting the affirmative attitude towards the world with ethics are, by a slow but irresistible process, loosening and finally parting. Out of my life and Thought.
Albert Schweitzer
I am life that wants to live, in the midst of life that wants to live.
Albert Schweitzer
That's my private ant. You're liable to break its legs.
Albert Schweitzer
Ideals are thoughts. So long as they exist merely as thoughts, the power in them remains ineffective.
Albert Schweitzer
Creative energy is the essence of all healing...We physicians do nothing, we only help and encourage the physician within.
Albert Schweitzer
World-view is a product of life-view, not vice versa.
Albert Schweitzer
I used to suffer particularly because the poor animals must endure so much pain and want. The sight of an old, limping horse being dragged along by one man while another man struck him with a stick he was being driven to the Colmar slaughterhouse - haunted me for weeks.
Albert Schweitzer
Man's ethics must not end with man, but should extend to the universe. He must regain the consciousness of the great Chain of Life from which he cannot be separated.
Albert Schweitzer
Within every patient there resides a doctor, and we as physicians are at our best when we we put our patients in touch with the doctor inside themselves.
Albert Schweitzer
True philosophy must start from the most immediate and comprehensive fact of consciousness: I am life that wants to live, in the midst of life that wants to live.
Albert Schweitzer
We ought all to make an effort to act on our first thoughts and let our unspoken gratitude find expression. Then there will be more sunshine in the world, and more power to work for what is good.
Albert Schweitzer
