More quotes by Albert Schweitzer
Don't blame, forgive, All healing is self-healing
Albert Schweitzer

Albert Schweitzer
In case my life should end with the cannibals, I hope they will write on my tombstone, 'We have eaten Dr. Schweitzer. He was good to the end.'
Albert Schweitzer

Albert Schweitzer
Reverence for life affords me my fundamental principle of morality.
Albert Schweitzer

Albert Schweitzer
Reverence for life brings us into a spiritual relation with the world which is independent of all knowledge of the universe.
Albert Schweitzer
It is the fate of every truth to be an object of ridicule when it is first acclaimed.
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
If you study life deeply, its profundity will seize you suddenly with dizziness.
Albert Schweitzer
It is a man's sympathy with all creatures that first makes him truly a man.
Albert Schweitzer
