I look back upon my youth and realize how so many people gave me help, understanding, courage - very important things to me - and they never knew it. They entered into my life and became powers within me.
Albert Schweitzer

If you study life deeply, its profundity will seize you suddenly with dizziness.
Albert Schweitzer

Happiness is the only thing that multiplies when you share it.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Don't stop to ask whether the animal or plant you meet deserves your sympathy, or how much it feels, or even whether it can feel at all: respect it and consider all life sacred.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
I can do no other than be reverent before everything that is called life. I can do no other than to have compassion for all that is called life. That is the beginning and the foundation of all ethics.

Albert Schweitzer
Image
If there is anything I have learned about men and women, it is that there is a deeper spirit of altruism than is ever evident. Just as the rivers we see are minor compared to the underground streams, so, too, the idealism that is visible is minor compared to what people carry in their hearts unreleased or scarcely released.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
All the kindness which a man puts out into the world works on the heart and thoughts of mankind.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
It is not always granted to the sower to see the harvest.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
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
Image
Cold completely introspective logic places a philosopher on the road to the abstract. Out of this empty, artificial act of thinking there can result, of course, nothing which bears on the relation of man to himself, and to the universe.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Ethical existence [is] the highest manifestation of spirituality.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
The harvested fields bathed in the autumn mist speak of God and his goodness far more vividly than any human lips.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
I do not know what your destiny may be, but I do know this, that not one of you will find the happiness that each of you is seeking until you have first sought and found a way in which to unselfishly serve others.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
The path of awakening is not about becoming who you are. Rather it is about unbecoming who you are not.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
A man can do only what he can do. But if he does that each day he can sleep at night and do it again the next day.
