The deeper we look into nature, the more we recognize that it is full of life, and the more profoundly we know that all life is a secret and that we are united with all life that is in nature.

Image
We must all die. But that I can save him from days of torture, that is what I feel as my great and ever new privilege. Pain is a more terrible lord of mankind than even death itself.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
A man does not have to be an angel in order to be saint.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Don't let your hearts grow numb. Stay alert. It is your soul which matters.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
A thinking man feels compelled to approach all life with the same reverence he has for his own.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
In the same way as the tree bears the same fruit year after year, but each time new fruit, all lastingly valuable ideas in thinking must always be reborn.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Ethics are complete, profound and alive only when addressed to all living beings. Only then are we in spiritual connection with the world. Any philosophy not representing this, not based on the indefinite totality of life, is bound to disappear.
Albert Schweitzer

The tragedy of life is what dies inside a man while he lives.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Open your eyes and look for some man, or some work for the sake of men, which needs a little time, a little friendship, a little sympathy, a little sociability, a little human toil....It is needed in every nook and corner. Therefore search and see if there is not some place where you may invest your humanity.

Help me to fling my life like a flaming firebrand into the gathering darkness of the world.

Where possible Paul avoids quoting the teaching of Jesus, in fact even mentioning it. If we had to rely on Paul, we should not know that Jesus taught in parables, had delivered the sermon on the mount, and had taught His disciples the 'Our Father.' Even where they are specially relevant, Paul passes over the words of the Lord.

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
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
The disastrous feature of our civilization is that it is far more developed materially than spiritually. Its balance is disturbed.

Example is leadership.

At that point in life where your talent meets the needs of the world, that is where God wants you to be.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
I look back upon my youth and realize how so many people gave me help, understanding, courage - very important things to me - and they never knew it. They entered into my life and became powers within me.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Impart as much as you can of your spiritual being to those who are on the road with you, and accept as something precious what comes back to you from them.

Love . . . includes fellowship in suffering, in joy and in effort.
