Image
Only through love can we obtain communion with God.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
We are all so much together, but we are all dying of loneliness.
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
There are two means of refuge from the miseries of life: music and cats.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Just as white light consists of colored rays, so reverence for life contains all the components of ethics: love, kindliness, sympathy, empathy, peacefulness and power to forgive.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Example is not the main thing in influencing others. It is the only thing.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
The doctor of the future will be oneself.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
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
Image
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
Most men are scantily nourished on a modicum of happiness and a number of empty thoughts which life lays on their plates. They are kept in the road of life through stern necessity by elemental duties which they cannot avoid.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Let us rejoice in the truth, wherever we find its lamp burning.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
The true worth of a man is not to be found in man himself, but in the colours and textures that come alive in others.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
I still remain convinced that truth, love, peaceableness, meekness, and kindness are the violence which can master all other violence. The world will be theirs as soon as ever a sufficient number of people with purity of heart, with strength, and with perseverance think and live out the thoughts of love and truth, of meekness and peaceableness.
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
If there is anything I have learned about men and women, it is that there is a deeper spirit of altruism than is ever evident. Just as the rivers we see are minor compared to the underground streams, so, too, the idealism that is visible is minor compared to what people carry in their hearts unreleased or scarcely released.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
It is a man's sympathy with all creatures that first makes him truly a man.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
We are gripped by God’s will of love, and must help carry out that will in this world, in small things as in great things, in saving as in pardoning. To be glad instruments of God’s love in this imperfect world is the service to which we are called.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Wherever a man turns he can find someone who needs him.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Renunciation of thinking is a declaration of spiritual bankruptcy.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Mysticism occurs whenever a human being sees the separation between the natural and the supernatural, between the temporal and the eternal, as overcome.
