Albert Schweitzer
No one may shut his eyes to think the pain, which is therefore not visible to him, is non-existent.
Albert Schweitzer
Kindness works simply and perseveringly it produces no strained relations which prejudice its working strained relations which already exist it relaxes. Mistrust and misunderstanding it puts to flight, and it strengthens itself by calling forth answering kindness. Hence it is the furthest reaching and the most effective of all forces.
Albert Schweitzer
