Albert Schweitzer
Ethics is the activity of man directed to secure the inner perfection of his own personality.
Albert Schweitzer
Pablo Casals is a great musician in all he does: a cellist without equal, and extraordinary conductor and composer with something to say. I have been profoundly impressed by all I have heard of his work, but he is a musician of this stature because he is also a great man.
Albert Schweitzer

Albert Schweitzer
Hear our humble prayer, O God. Make us, ourselves, to be true friends to the animals.

Albert Schweitzer
The great enemy of morality is indifference.
Albert Schweitzer
The Bhagavad-Gita has a profound influence on the spirit of mankind by its devotion to God which is manifested by actions.
Albert Schweitzer
Preservation of life is the only true joy.
Albert Schweitzer
Therapy is the boat across the river, but most don't want to get off. Don't blame, forgive, All healing is self-healing
Albert Schweitzer
The time will come when public opinion will no longer tolerate amusements based on the mistreatment and killing of animals. The time will come, but when? When will we reach the point that hunting, the pleasure in killing animals for sport, will be regarded as a mental aberration?
Albert Schweitzer
For those who sincerely seek the truth should not fear the outcome.
Albert Schweitzer
We must never allow the voice of humanity within us to be silenced. It is humanity's sympathy with all creatures that first makes us truly human.
Albert Schweitzer
Any religion or philosophy which is not based on a respect for life is not a true religion or philosophy.
Albert Schweitzer
