More quotes by Albert Schweitzer
Knowing all truth is less than doing a little bit of good.
Albert Schweitzer

Albert Schweitzer

Albert Schweitzer
We all know how important love is, yet how often is it really emoted or exhibited? What so many sick people in this world suffer from-loneliness, boredom and fear-can't be cured with a pill.
Albert Schweitzer
Sincerity is the foundation of the spiritual life.
Albert Schweitzer
A thinking man feels compelled to approach all life with the same reverence he has for his own.
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.
