More quotes by Albert Schweitzer
Reverence for life is the highest court of appeal.
Albert Schweitzer
In case my life should end with the cannibals, I hope they will write on my tombstone, 'We have eaten Dr. Schweitzer. He was good to the end.'
Albert Schweitzer
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
To the truly ethical man, all of life is sacred, including forms of life that from the human point of view may seem lower than ours.
Albert Schweitzer
In resigning ourselves to our fate without a struggle, we are guilty of inhumanity.
Albert Schweitzer
Be faithful to your love and you mill be recompensed beyond measure.
Albert Schweitzer
You must not expect anything from others. It's you, of yourself, of whom you must ask a lot. Only from oneself has one the right to ask everything and anything. This way it's up to you - your own choices - what you get from others remains a present, a gift.
Albert Schweitzer

Albert Schweitzer
There slowly grew up in me an unshakable conviction that we have no right to inflict suffering and death on another living creature, unless there is some unavoidable necessity for it.
Albert Schweitzer
Only through love can we obtain communion with God.
Albert Schweitzer
If the extension of your compassion does not include all living beings, then you will be unable to find peace by yourself.
Albert Schweitzer
Joy, sorrow, tears, lamentation, laughter -- to all these music gives voice
Albert Schweitzer
Every person I have known who has been truly happy has learned how to serve others.
Albert Schweitzer
God much are the truly wealthy. So our inner happiness depends not on what we experience but on the degree of our gratitude to God, Gratitude — the Secret of Life.
Albert Schweitzer
Today . . . we know that all living beings who strive to maintain life and who long to be spared pain - all living beings on earth - are our neighbors.
Albert Schweitzer
The great enemy of morality is indifference.
Albert Schweitzer
Reverence for life affords me my fundamental principle of morality.
Albert Schweitzer
Therapy is the boat across the river, but most don't want to get off. Don't blame, forgive, All healing is self-healing
Albert Schweitzer
