More quotes by Albert Schweitzer
It is the fate of every truth to be an object of ridicule when it is first acclaimed.
Albert Schweitzer
We all know how important love is, yet how often is it really emoted or exhibited? What so many sick people in this world suffer from-loneliness, boredom and fear-can't be cured with a pill.
Albert Schweitzer
My view is that we stand up for treating the animals in a considerate way, for completely renouncing the eating of meat and also for speaking out against it. This is what I do myself. And in this way many a one becomes aware of a problem that was put forward so late.
Albert Schweitzer
Grow into your ideals so that life cannot rob you of them.
Albert Schweitzer
It seemed incredible to me, that physical courage should be so commonplace and revered, while moral courage . . . is so rare and despised.
Albert Schweitzer

Albert Schweitzer
Good is that which promotes life, evil is that which destroys life
Albert Schweitzer

Albert Schweitzer
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
Because I have confidence in the power of truth, and of the spirit, I have confidence in the future of mankind.
Albert Schweitzer
Whoever is spared personal pain must feel himself called to help in diminishing the pain of others. We must all carry our share of the misery which lies upon the world.
Albert Schweitzer
Constant Kindness can accomplish much.
Albert Schweitzer
I am life which wants to live admidst of lives that want to live.
Albert Schweitzer
The great enemy of morality is indifference.
Albert Schweitzer
As we acquire knowledge, things do not become more comprehensible, but more mysterious.
Albert Schweitzer
There is much coldness among men because we do not dare to be as cordial as we really are.
Albert Schweitzer
The last fact which knowledge can discover is that the world is a manifestation, and in every way a puzzling manifestation, of the universal will to live.
Albert Schweitzer
If you truly desire happiness, seek and learn how to serve.
Albert Schweitzer
Cold completely introspective logic places a philosopher on the road to the abstract. Out of this empty, artificial act of thinking there can result, of course, nothing which bears on the relation of man to himself, and to the universe.
Albert Schweitzer
By respect for life we become religious in a way that is elementary, profound and alive.
Albert Schweitzer
