More quotes by Albert Schweitzer

Albert Schweitzer
Train yourself never to put off the word or action for the expression of gratitude.
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
When man learns to respect even the smallest being of creation...nobody has to teach him to love his fellow man. Compassion for animals is intimately connected with goodness of character, and it may be confidently asserted that he who is cruel to animals cannot be a good man.
Albert Schweitzer
Example is not the main thing in influencing others. It is the only thing.
Albert Schweitzer
Grow into your ideals so that life cannot rob you of them.

Ethics is the activity of man directed to secure the inner perfection of his own personality.
Albert Schweitzer
I do not believe that we can put into anyone ideas which are not in him already. As a rule there are in everyone all sorts of good ideas, ready like tinder. But much of this tinder catches fire, or catches it successfully, only when it meets some flame or spark from outside, i.e., from some other person.
Albert Schweitzer
The only way out of today's misery is for people to become worthy of each other's trust.
Albert Schweitzer
The thinking man must oppose all cruelties no matter how deeply rooted in tradition or surrounded by a halo.
Albert Schweitzer
The Christ of Theology is not alive for us today. He is wrapped in the grave cloths of dogma.
Albert Schweitzer
Renunciation of thinking is a declaration of spiritual bankruptcy.
Albert Schweitzer
I am conscious that meat eatingis not in accordance with the finer feelings,and I abstain from it whenever I can.
Albert Schweitzer
There is no higher religion than human service.
Albert Schweitzer
What has been presented as Christianity during these nineteen centuries is only a beginning, full of mistakes, not full blown Christianity springing from the spirit of Jesus.
Albert Schweitzer
The future of civilization depends on our overcoming the meaninglessness and hopelessness which characterize the thoughts and convictions of men today, and reaching a state of fresh hope and fresh determination.
Albert Schweitzer
Sincerity is the foundation of the spiritual life.
Albert Schweitzer
Anyone who proposes to do good must not expect people to roll stones out of his way, but must accept his lot calmly if they even roll a few more upon it.
Albert Schweitzer
A heavy guilt rests upon us for what the whites of all nations have done to the colored peoples. When we do good to them, it is not benevolence--it is atonement.
Albert Schweitzer
