More quotes by Albert Schweitzer
Thought is the strongest thing we have. Work done by true and profound thought - that is a real force.
Albert Schweitzer
What the activity of this disposition of ours means in the evolution of the world, we do not know. Nor can we regulate this activity from outside we must leave entirely to each individual its shaping and its extension. From every point of view, then, world- and life-affirmation and ethics are non-rational, and we must have the courage to admit it.
Albert Schweitzer
At that point in life where your talent meets the needs of the world, that is where God wants you to be.
Albert Schweitzer
My life is full of meaning to me. The life around me must be full of significance to itself. If I am to expect others to respect my life, then I must respect the other life I see.
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
Joy, sorrow, tears, lamentation, laughter -- to all these music gives voice, but in such a way that we are transported from the world of unrest to a world of peace, and see reality in a new way, as if we were sitting by a mountain lake and contemplating hills and woods and clouds in the tranquil and fathomless water.
Albert Schweitzer
Only an ethical movement can rescue us from barbarism, and the ethical comes into existence only in individuals.
Albert Schweitzer
All work that is worth anything is done in faith.
Albert Schweitzer
Every start on an untrodden path is a venture which only in unusual circumstances looks sensible and likely to succeed.
Albert Schweitzer
By ethical conduct toward all creatures, we enter into a spiritual relationship with the universe.
Albert Schweitzer
The destiny of man is to be more and more human.
Albert Schweitzer
My life is my argument.
Albert Schweitzer
What really matters is that we should all of us realize that we are guilty of inhumanity. The horror of this realization should shakes us out of our lethargy so that we can direct our hopes and our intentions to the coming of an era in which war will have no place.
Albert Schweitzer
The African is my brother but he is my younger brother by several centuries.
Albert Schweitzer
We must never allow the voice of humanity within us to be silenced. It is humanity's sympathy with all creatures that first makes us truly human.
Albert Schweitzer
Love ... is a living reality.
Albert Schweitzer
The elemental fact, present in our consciousness every moment of our existence, is: I am life that wills to live, in the midst of life that wills to live.... The essence of the humane spirit is: Preserve life, promote life, help life to achieve its highest destiny. The essence of Evil is: Destroy life, harm life, hamper the development of life
Albert Schweitzer
Pain is a more terrible lord of mankind than even death itself.
Albert Schweitzer
We are all so much together, but we are all dying of loneliness.
Albert Schweitzer
Search and see if there is not some place where you may invest your humanity.
Albert Schweitzer
