The first step in the evolution of ethics is a sense of solidarity with other human beings.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
In the hopes of reaching the moon men fail to see the flowers that blossom at their feet.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
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
Image
Today . . . we know that all living beings who strive to maintain life and who long to be spared pain - all living beings on earth - are our neighbors.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
A man who possesses a veneration of life will not simply say his prayers. He will throw himself into the battle to preserve life, if for no other reason than that he himself is an extension of life around him.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
If you own something you cannot give away, then you don't own it, it owns you.

The highest proof of the spirit is love. Love the eternal thing which can already on earth possess as it really is.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
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
Image
Man must cease attributing his problems to his environment, and learn again to exercise his will - his personal responsibility in the realm of faith and morals.
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
Only when an ideal of peace is born in the minds of the peoples will the institutions set up to maintain this peace effectively fulfill the function expected of them.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Because I have confidence in the power of truth and in the spirit, I believe in the future of mankind. Affirmation of the world and of life contains within itself an optimistic willing and hoping which can never be lost. It is, therefore, never afraid to face the dismal reality and to see it as it really is.
Albert Schweitzer

We cannot abdicate our conscience to an organization, nor to a government.

...try to tell the people of America about Dr. Gerson's merits and ...results...I wish you the best in your difficult task.
