Your soul suffers if you live superficially.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Set a great example. Someone may imitate it.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
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

If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
We are gripped by God’s will of love, and must help carry out that will in this world, in small things as in great things, in saving as in pardoning. To be glad instruments of God’s love in this imperfect world is the service to which we are called.

The great secret of success is to go through life as a man who never gets used to failing.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Whatever you have received more than others-in health, in talents, in ability, in success, in a pleasant childhood, in harmonious conditions of home life-all this you must not take to yourself as a matter of course. In gratitude for your good fortune, you must remember in return some sacrifice of your own life for another life.
Albert Schweitzer

Don't blame, forgive, All healing is self-healing
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Jesus as a concrete historical personality remains a stranger to our time, but His spirit, which lies hidden in His words, is known in simplicity, and its influence is direct.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Everything deep is also simple and can be reproduced simply as long as its reference to the whole truth is maintained. But what matters is not what is witty but what is true.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
What we call love is in its essence reverence for life.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
I see in him (Dr. Max Gerson) one of the most eminent medical geniuses in the history of medicine...he was greatly impeded by adverse political conditions.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Every patient carries her or his own doctor inside.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
There can be no Kingdom of God in the world without the Kingdom of God in our hearts.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
O heavenly Father, protect and bless all things that have breath: guard them from all evil and let them sleep in peace.
