More quotes by Albert Schweitzer

Image
It seemed incredible to me, that physical courage should be so commonplace and revered, while moral courage . . . is so rare and despised.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
There can be no Kingdom of God in the world without the Kingdom of God in our hearts.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Wherever a man turns he can find someone who needs him.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
The last fact which knowledge can discover is that the world is a manifestation, and in every way a puzzling manifestation, of the universal will to live.
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
Love is the only thing that increases twofold every time it is shared.
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
Image
Truth has not special time of its own. Its hour is now - always and, indeed then most truly, when it seems unsuitable to actual circumstances.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
My life carries its own meaning in itself.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
One who gains strength by overcoming obstacles possesses the only strength which can overcome adversity.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
The highest knowledge is to know that we are surrounded by mystery.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Anyone who proposes to do good must not expect people to roll stones out of his way, but must accept his lot calmly if they even roll a few more on it. A strength which becomes clearer and stronger through experiences of such obstacles is the only strength that can conquer them. Resistance is only a waste of strength.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
At that point in life where your talent meets the needs of the world, that is where God wants you to be.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Affirmation of the world, which means affirmation of the will-to-live that manifests itself around me, is only possible if I devote myself to other life.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
The purpose of human life is to serve, and to show compassion and the will to help others.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
I decided that I would make my life my argument.
