For animals that are overworked, underfed, and cruelly treated for all wistful creatures in captivity that beat their wings against bars for any that are hunted or lost or deserted or frightened or hungry for all that must be put to death...and for those who deal with them we ask a heart of compassion and gentle hands and kindly words.

Albert Schweitzer
World-view is a product of life-view, not vice versa.
Albert Schweitzer
Man has become a superman ... because he not only disposes oinnate, physical forces, but because he is in command ... olatent forces in nature and because he can put them to his service.... But the essential fact we must surely all feel in our hearts ... is that we are becoming inhuman in proportion as we become supermen.
Albert Schweitzer
Seek always to do some good, somewhere... Even if it's a little thing, so something for those that need help, something for which you get no pay but the privilege of doing it.
Albert Schweitzer
