More quotes by Albert Schweitzer
Every start on an untrodden path is a venture which only in unusual circumstances looks sensible and likely to succeed.
Albert Schweitzer
The friend of nature is the man who feels himself inwardly united with everything that lives in nature, who shares in the fate of all creatures, helps them when he can in their pain and need, and as far as possible avoids injuring or taking life.
Albert Schweitzer
In modern European thought a tragedy is occurring in that the original bonds uniting the affirmative attitude towards the world with ethics are, by a slow but irresistible process, loosening and finally parting. Out of my life and Thought.
Albert Schweitzer
Example is leadership.
Albert Schweitzer
Reverence for life is the highest court of appeal.
Albert Schweitzer
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
A man is truly ethical only when he obeys the compulsion to help all life which he is able to assist, and shrinks from injuring anything that lives.
Albert Schweitzer
The highest knowledge is to know that we are surrounded by mystery.
Albert Schweitzer
One person can and does make a difference.
Albert Schweitzer
Every person I have known who has been truly happy has learned how to serve others.
Albert Schweitzer
In the hopes of reaching the moon men fail to see the flowers that blossom at their feet.
Albert Schweitzer
The man who has become a thinking being feels a compulsion to give every will-to-live the same reverence for life that he gives to his own. He experiences that other life in his own.
Albert Schweitzer
Do something wonderful, people may imitate it.
Albert Schweitzer
Your life is something opaque, not transparent, as long as you look at it in an ordinary human way. But if you hold it up against the light of God's goodness, it shines and turns transparent, radiant and bright. And then you ask yourself in amazement: Is this really my own life I see before me?
Albert Schweitzer
There is much coldness among men because we do not dare to be as cordial as we really are.
Albert Schweitzer
Profound love demands a deep conception and out of this develops reverence for the mystery of life. It brings us close to all beings, to the poorest and smallest as well as all others.
Albert Schweitzer
For those who sincerely seek the truth should not fear the outcome.
Albert Schweitzer
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
Let your life be your argument.
Albert Schweitzer
If a man loses his reverence for any part of life, he will lose his reverence for all of life.
Albert Schweitzer
