More quotes by Albert Schweitzer
A man is ethical only when life, as such, is sacred to him, that of plants and animals as that of his fellow men, and when he devotes himself helpfully to all life that is in need of help.
Albert Schweitzer
By respect for life we become religious in a way that is elementary, profound and alive.
Albert Schweitzer
My life is full of meaning to me. The life around me must be full of significance to itself. If I am to expect others to respect my life, then I must respect the other life I see.
Albert Schweitzer
We cannot abdicate our conscience to an organization, nor to a government.
Albert Schweitzer
We are united with all life that is in nature. Man can no longer live his life for himself alone.
Albert Schweitzer
Day by day we should weigh what we have granted to the spirit of the world against what we have denied to the spirit of Jesus, in thought and especially in deed.
Albert Schweitzer
It's supposed to be a secret, but I'll tell you anyway. We doctors do nothing. We only help. And encourage the doctor within.
Albert Schweitzer
The purpose of human life is to serve, and to show compassion and the will to help others.
Albert Schweitzer
The city of truth cannot be built on the swampy ground of skepticism.
Albert Schweitzer
Happiness is nothing more than good health and a bad memory.
Albert Schweitzer
Living truth is that alone which has its origins in thinking. Just as a tree bears year after year the same fruit which is each year new, so must all permanently valuable ideas be continually born again in thought.
Albert Schweitzer
There is no higher religion than human service.
Albert Schweitzer
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
The first step in the evolution of ethics is a sense of solidarity with other human beings.
Albert Schweitzer
The greatest living person in the world is some individual who at this very moment has gone in love to help another.
Albert Schweitzer
If you are called upon to play a church service, it is a greater honor than if you were to play a concert on the finest organ in the world... Thank God each time when you are privileged to sit before the organ console and assist in the worship of the Almighty.
Albert Schweitzer
Joy, sorrow, tears, lamentation, laughter -- to all these music gives voice, but in such a way that we are transported from the world of unrest to a world of peace, and see reality in a new way, as if we were sitting by a mountain lake and contemplating hills and woods and clouds in the tranquil and fathomless water.
Albert Schweitzer
The interior joy we feel when we have done a good deed is the nourishment the soul requires.
Albert Schweitzer
Jesus means something to our world because a mighty spiritual force streams forth from him and flows through our being also. This fact can neither be shaken nor confirmed by any historical discovery. It is the solid foundation of Christianity.
Albert Schweitzer
You ask me for a motto. Here it is: SERVICE.
Albert Schweitzer
