More quotes by Albert Schweitzer
We need a boundless ethics which will include animals also.
Albert Schweitzer
Whatever you have received more than others-in health, in talents, in ability, in success, in a pleasant childhood, in harmonious conditions of home life-all this you must not take to yourself as a matter of course. In gratitude for your good fortune, you must remember in return some sacrifice of your own life for another life.
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
Knowing all truth is less than doing a little bit of good.
Albert Schweitzer
Train yourself never to put off the word or action for the expression of gratitude.

Albert Schweitzer
The purpose of human life is to serve, and to show compassion and the will to help others.
Albert Schweitzer
The spirit of the age is filled with the disdain for thinking.
Albert Schweitzer
Every patient carries her or his own doctor inside.
Albert Schweitzer
I too had thoughts once of being an intellectual, but I found it too difficult.
Albert Schweitzer
We cannot abdicate our conscience to an organization, nor to a government.
Albert Schweitzer
Every start on an untrodden path is a venture which only in unusual circumstances looks sensible and likely to succeed.
