The harvested fields bathed in the autumn mist speak of God and his goodness far more vividly than any human lips.

Happiness is nothing more than good health and a bad memory.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Only through love can we obtain communion with God.
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 on it. A strength which becomes clearer and stronger through experiences of such obstacles is the only strength that can conquer them. Resistance is only a waste of strength.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
The only thing of importance, when we depart, will be the traces of love we have left behind.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
The most difficult thing I have ever had to do is follow the guidance I prayed for.
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
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
Pain is a more terrible lord of mankind than even death itself.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
It is only through love that we can attain to communion with God. All living knowledge of God rests upon this foundation: that we experience him in our lives as Will-to-love.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Ethics is the activity of man directed to secure the inner perfection of his own personality.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
It's supposed to be a secret, but I'll tell you anyway. We doctors do nothing. We only help. And encourage the doctor within.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Within every patient there resides a doctor, and we as physicians are at our best when we we put our patients in touch with the doctor inside themselves.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Man has become a superman ... because he not only disposes oinnate, physical forces, but because he is in command ... olatent forces in nature and because he can put them to his service.... But the essential fact we must surely all feel in our hearts ... is that we are becoming inhuman in proportion as we become supermen.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
I do not believe that we can put into anyone ideas which are not in him already. As a rule there are in everyone all sorts of good ideas, ready like tinder. But much of this tinder catches fire, or catches it successfully, only when it meets some flame or spark from outside, i.e., from some other person.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
You must not expect anything from others. It's you, of yourself, of whom you must ask a lot. Only from oneself has one the right to ask everything and anything. This way it's up to you - your own choices - what you get from others remains a present, a gift.

Do something good and someone might imitate it.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Truth has not special time of its own. Its hour is now - always and, indeed then most truly, when it seems unsuitable to actual circumstances.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Thought is the strongest thing we have. Work done by true and profound thought - that is a real force.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Does my behavior in respect of love affect nothing? That is because there is not enough love in me.
Albert Schweitzer

All work that is worth anything is done in faith.
