It seemed incredible to me, that physical courage should be so commonplace and revered, while moral courage . . . is so rare and despised.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
To work for the common good is the greatest creed.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
A man who possesses a veneration of life will not simply say his prayers. He will throw himself into the battle to preserve life, if for no other reason than that he himself is an extension of life around him.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Those who experiment on animals should never be able to quiet their own conscience by telling themselves that these cruelties have a worthy aim.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Ethics is the activity of man directed to secure the inner perfection of his own personality.
Albert Schweitzer

Knowing all truth is less than doing a little bit of good.
Albert Schweitzer

Nature compels us to recognize the fact of mutual dependence, each life necessarily helping the other lives who are linked to it. In the very fibers of our being, we bear within ourselves the fact of the solidarity of life.

Albert Schweitzer
Image
Awakening of Western thought will not be complete until that thought steps outside itself and comes to an understanding with the search for a world-view as this manifests itself in the thought of mankind as a whole.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Anyone who proposes to do good must not expect people to roll stones out of his way, but must accept his lot calmly if they even roll a few more upon it.
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

Don't blame, forgive, All healing is self-healing

You don't live in a world all alone. Your brothers are here too.
