More quotes by 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
Creative energy is the essence of all healing...We physicians do nothing, we only help and encourage the physician within.
Albert Schweitzer
I am conscious that meat eatingis not in accordance with the finer feelings,and I abstain from it whenever I can.
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
Do not lose heart, even if you must wait a bit before finding the right thing. Be prepared for disappointment also, but do not abandon the quest.
Albert Schweitzer
I do not believe that we can put into anyone ideas which are not in him already. As a rule there are in everyone all sorts of good ideas, ready like tinder. But much of this tinder catches fire, or catches it successfully, only when it meets some flame or spark from outside, i.e., from some other person.
Albert Schweitzer
It doesn't matter if an animal can reason. It matters only that it is capable of suffering and that is why I consider it my neighbor.
Albert Schweitzer
My life is my argument.
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
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
To me, good health is more than just exercise and diet. Its really a point of view and a mental attitude you have about yourself.
Albert Schweitzer
Cold completely introspective logic places a philosopher on the road to the abstract. Out of this empty, artificial act of thinking there can result, of course, nothing which bears on the relation of man to himself, and to the universe.
Albert Schweitzer
I am life that wants to live, in the midst of life that wants to live.
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
Pain is a more terrible lord of mankind than even death itself.
Albert Schweitzer
Love ... is a living reality.
Albert Schweitzer
As soon as man does not take his existence for granted, but beholds it as something unfathomably mysterious, thought begins.
Albert Schweitzer
If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.
Albert Schweitzer
Seek always to do some good, somewhere... Even if it's a little thing, so something for those that need help, something for which you get no pay but the privilege of doing it.
Albert Schweitzer
A man is ethical only when life, as such, is sacred to him.
Albert Schweitzer
