Humanitarianism consists in never sacrificing a human being to a purpose.
Albert Schweitzer

Image
Be faithful to your love and you mill be recompensed beyond measure.
Albert Schweitzer

The awareness that we are all human beings together has become lost in war and through politics.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
In the past we have tried to make a distinction between animals which we acknowledge have some value and other which, having none, can be liquidated when we wish. This standard must be abandoned. Everything that lives has value simply as a living thing, as one of the manifestations of the mystery that is life.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Train yourself never to put off the word or action for the expression of gratitude.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
The path of awakening is not about becoming who you are. Rather it is about unbecoming who you are not.
