Albert Schweitzer
In the past we have tried to make a distinction between animals which we acknowledge have some value and other which, having none, can be liquidated when we wish. This standard must be abandoned. Everything that lives has value simply as a living thing, as one of the manifestations of the mystery that is life.
Albert Schweitzer
The interior joy we feel when we have done a good deed is the nourishment the soul requires.
Albert Schweitzer
The harvested fields bathed in the autumn mist speak of God and his goodness far more vividly than any human lips.
Albert Schweitzer
Mysticism occurs whenever a human being sees the separation between the natural and the supernatural, between the temporal and the eternal, as overcome.
Albert Schweitzer
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
At that point in life where your talent meets the needs of the world, that is where God wants you to be.
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
Be faithful to your love and you mill be recompensed beyond measure.
Albert Schweitzer
Constant Kindness can accomplish much.
Albert Schweitzer
