More quotes by Albert Schweitzer
My life carries its own meaning in itself.
Albert Schweitzer
Constant Kindness can accomplish much.
Albert Schweitzer
I still remain convinced that truth, love, peaceableness, meekness, and kindness are the violence which can master all other violence. The world will be theirs as soon as ever a sufficient number of people with purity of heart, with strength, and with perseverance think and live out the thoughts of love and truth, of meekness and peaceableness.
Albert Schweitzer

Therefore search and see if there is not some place where you may invest your humanity.
