Don't blame, forgive, All healing is self-healing
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
The path of awakening is not about becoming who you are. Rather it is about unbecoming who you are not.
Albert Schweitzer
For those who sincerely seek the truth should not fear the outcome.
Albert Schweitzer
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
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
Reincarnation contains a most comforting explanation of reality by means of which Indian thought surmounts difficulties which baffle the thinkers of Europe.
Albert Schweitzer
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
You don't live in a world all alone. Your brothers are here too.
Albert Schweitzer

Albert Schweitzer
Constant kindness can accomplish much. As the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust, and hostility to evaporate.
Albert Schweitzer
Our degeneration, when it is traced back to its origin in our view of the world really consists in the fact that true optimism has vanished unperceived from our midst.
Albert Schweitzer
The only thing of importance, when we depart, will be the traces of love we have left behind.
Albert Schweitzer
Faith which refuses to face indisputable facts is but little faith. Truth is always gain, however hard it is to accommodate ourselves to it. To linger in any kind of untruth proves to be a departure from the straight way of faith.
Albert Schweitzer
If a man loses his reverence for any part of life, he will lose his reverence for all of life.
Albert Schweitzer
Your soul suffers if you live superficially.
Albert Schweitzer
Ideals are thoughts. So long as they exist merely as thoughts, the power in them remains ineffective.
Albert Schweitzer
Man has lost the capacity to foresee and to forestall. He will end by destroying the earth.
Albert Schweitzer
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
What we call love is in its essence reverence for life.
Albert Schweitzer
