More quotes by Albert Schweitzer

Image
There is much coldness among men because we do not dare to be as cordial as we really are.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Where possible Paul avoids quoting the teaching of Jesus, in fact even mentioning it. If we had to rely on Paul, we should not know that Jesus taught in parables, had delivered the sermon on the mount, and had taught His disciples the 'Our Father.' Even where they are specially relevant, Paul passes over the words of the Lord.
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
We are compelled by the commandment of love contained in our hearts and thought, and proclaimed by Jesus, to give rein to our natural sympathy for animals. We are also compelled to help them and spare them suffering.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Reverence for life brings us into a spiritual relation with the world which is independent of all knowledge of the universe.
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
Image
If you truly desire happiness, seek and learn how to serve.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Reverence for life, veneratio vitæ, is the most direct and at the same time the profoundest achievement of my will-to-live.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
It is the fate of every truth to be an object of ridicule when it is first acclaimed.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
The gratitude that we encounter helps us believe in the goodness of the world, and strengthens us thereby to do what's good.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
I decided that I would make my life my argument.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
It is not enough to merely exist. It's not enough to say, 'I'm earning enough to live and support my family. I do my work well. I'm a good parent.' That's all very well. But you must do something more.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flames within us.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
The harvested fields bathed in the autumn mist speak of God and his goodness far more vividly than any human lips.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
What we call love is in its essence reverence for life.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
A man is ethical only when life, as such, is sacred to him.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
We need a boundless ethic, one which will include the animals, too. Until we extend the circle of his compassions to all living things, we will not find peace.
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
Your life is something opaque, not transparent, as long as you look at it in an ordinary human way. But if you hold it up against the light of God's goodness, it shines and turns transparent, radiant and bright. And then you ask yourself in amazement: Is this really my own life I see before me?
Albert Schweitzer
Image
We cannot abdicate our conscience to an organization, nor to a government. 'Am I my brother's keeper?' Most certainly I am! I cannot escape my responsibility by saying the State will do all that is necessary. It is a tragedy that nowadays so many think and feel otherwise.
