More quotes by Albert Schweitzer

Image
It's not enough merely to exist. Every man has to seek in his own way to make his own self more noble and to relize his own true worth.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
What the activity of this disposition of ours means in the evolution of the world, we do not know. Nor can we regulate this activity from outside we must leave entirely to each individual its shaping and its extension. From every point of view, then, world- and life-affirmation and ethics are non-rational, and we must have the courage to admit it.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Any profound view of the world is mysticism. It has, of course, to deal with life and the world, both of which are nonrational entities.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
The spirit of the age is filled with the disdain for thinking.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
We need a boundless ethic, one which will include the animals, too. Until we extend the circle of his compassions to all living things, we will not find peace.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
My life is full of meaning to me. The life around me must be full of significance to itself. If I am to expect others to respect my life, then I must respect the other life I see.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
As we acquire knowledge, things do not become more comprehensible, but more mysterious.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
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
Image
Compassion, in which all ethics must take root, can only attain its full breadth and depth if it embraces all living creatures and does not limit itself to mankind.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Hear our humble prayer, O God. Make us, ourselves, to be true friends to the animals.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Ethics is nothing else than reverence for life.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
There is much coldness among men because we do not dare to be as cordial as we really are.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Ideals are thoughts. So long as they exist merely as thoughts, the power in them remains ineffective.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
The greatest living person in the world is some individual who at this very moment has gone in love to help another.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Pain is a more terrible lord of mankind than even death itself.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
From naive simplicity we arrive at more profound simplicity.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
When man learns to respect even the smallest being of creation...nobody has to teach him to love his fellow man. Compassion for animals is intimately connected with goodness of character, and it may be confidently asserted that he who is cruel to animals cannot be a good man.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
The willow which bends to the tempest, often escapes better than the oak which resists it and so in great calamities, it sometimes happens that light and frivolous spirits recover their elasticity and presence of mind sooner than those of a loftier character.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Where principles and heart stand in conflict with each other, let us make the law of the spirit free from the law of principles.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
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
