More quotes by Albert Schweitzer
Not less strong than the will to truth must be the will to sincerity. Only an age, which can show the courage of sincerity, can possess truth, which works as a spiritual force within it.
Albert Schweitzer
The most difficult thing I have ever had to do is follow the guidance I prayed for.
Albert Schweitzer
If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.
Albert Schweitzer
I am life that wants to live, in the midst of life that wants to live.
Albert Schweitzer
A good example has twice the value of good advice
Albert Schweitzer
Affirmation of the world, which means affirmation of the will-to-live that manifests itself around me, is only possible if I devote myself to other life.
Albert Schweitzer
We need a boundless ethic, one which will include the animals, too. Until we extend the circle of his compassions to all living things, we will not find peace.
Albert Schweitzer
The quiet conscience is the invention of the devil. No one of us may permit any preventable pain to be inflicted even though the responsibility for that pain is not ours. No one may shut his eyes and think that the pain which is therefore not visible, is non-existent.
Albert Schweitzer
Every patient carries her or his own doctor inside.
Albert Schweitzer
Search and see if there is not some place where you may invest your humanity.
Albert Schweitzer

Albert Schweitzer
Each act of unfaithfulness toward our inner being is a blot on our souls. If we continue to be unfaithful, our souls are eventually torn apart and we slowly bleed to death.
Albert Schweitzer
World-view is a product of life-view, not vice versa.
Albert Schweitzer
Only those who respect the personality of others can be of real use to them.
Albert Schweitzer
No man need fear death, he need fear only that he may die without having known his greatest power: the power of his free will to give his life for others
Albert Schweitzer
One who gains strength by overcoming obstacles possesses the only strength which can overcome adversity.
Albert Schweitzer
The stronger the reverence for natural life, the stronger grows also that for spiritual life.
Albert Schweitzer
We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.
Albert Schweitzer
Within every patient there resides a doctor, and we as physicians are at our best when we we put our patients in touch with the doctor inside themselves.
Albert Schweitzer
By having a reverence for life, we enter into a spiritual relation with the world By practicing reverence for life we become good, deep, and alive.
Albert Schweitzer
