Ethics is the activity of man directed to secure the inner perfection of his own personality.
Albert Schweitzer

The true worth of a man is not to be found in man himself, but in the colours and textures that come alive in others.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
No one may shut his eyes to think the pain, which is therefore not visible to him, is non-existent.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
The awareness that we are all human beings together has become lost in war and through politics.

Man is a clever animal who behaves like an imbecile.
Albert Schweitzer

Just as the wave cannot exist for itself, but is ever a part of the heaving surface of the ocean, so must I never live my life for itself, but always in the experience which is going on around me.

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

We cannot abdicate our conscience to an organization, nor to a government.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
I don't know what your destiny will be, but one thing I know: the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who will have sought and found how to serve.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Ethics, too, are nothing but reverence for life. This is what gives me the fundamental principle of morality, namely, that good consists in maintaining, promoting, and enhancing life, and that destroying, injuring, and limiting life are evil.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Wherever a man turns he can find someone who needs him.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Compassion, in which all ethics must take root, can only attain its full breadth and depth if it embraces all living creatures and does not limit itself to mankind.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
The great secret of success is to go through life as a person who never gets used up. That is possible for those who never argue and strive with people and facts, but in all experience retires upon themselves, and look for the ultimate cause of things in themselves.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Pain is a more terrible lord of mankind than even death itself.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
If there is anything I have learned about men and women, it is that there is a deeper spirit of altruism than is ever evident. Just as the rivers we see are minor compared to the underground streams, so, too, the idealism that is visible is minor compared to what people carry in their hearts unreleased or scarcely released.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Ethics is in its unqualified form extended responsibility with regard to everything that has life.

If you are called upon to play a church service, it is a greater honor than if you were to play a concert on the finest organ in the world... Thank God each time when you are privileged to sit before the organ console and assist in the worship of the Almighty.

To work for the common good is the greatest creed.
