Image
Ethics is nothing else than reverence for life.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
I don't know what your destiny will be, but one thing I know: the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who will have sought and found how to serve.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
The highest knowledge is to know that we are surrounded by mystery. Neither knowledge nor hope for the future can be the pivot of our life or determine its direction. It is intended to be solely determined by our allowing ourselves to be gripped by the ethical God, who reveals Himself in us, and by our yielding our will to His.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Not one of us knows what effect his life produces, and what he gives to others that is hidden from us and must remain so, though we are often allowed to see some little fraction of it, so that we may not lose courage.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Man's ethics must not end with man, but should extend to the universe. He must regain the consciousness of the great Chain of Life from which he cannot be separated.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Renunciation of thinking is a declaration of spiritual bankruptcy.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
We cannot abdicate our conscience to an organization, nor to a government. 'Am I my brother's keeper?' Most certainly I am! I cannot escape my responsibility by saying the State will do all that is necessary. It is a tragedy that nowadays so many think and feel otherwise.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Don't let your hearts grow numb. Stay alert. It is your soul which matters.
Albert Schweitzer

A good example has twice the value of good advice
Albert Schweitzer
Image
The gratitude that we encounter helps us believe in the goodness of the world, and strengthens us thereby to do what's good.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
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
There is within each of us a modulation, an inner exaltation, which lifts us above the buffetings with which events assail us. Likewise, it lifts us above dependence upon the gifts of events for our joy.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
He who does not reflect his life back to God in gratitude does not know himself.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
My life carries its own meaning in itself.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
If you are called upon to play a church service, it is a greater honor than if you were to play a concert on the finest organ in the world... Thank God each time when you are privileged to sit before the organ console and assist in the worship of the Almighty.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Knowing all truth is less than doing a little bit of good.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
I am life that wants to live, in the midst of life that wants to live.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
I must forgive without noise or fuss.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
The greatest thing is to give thanks for everything. He who has learned this knows what it means to live. He has penetrated the whole mystery of life: giving thanks for everything.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
We are all so much together, but we are all dying of loneliness.
Albert Schweitzer
