More quotes by Albert Schweitzer
The Christ of Theology is not alive for us today. He is wrapped in the grave cloths of dogma.
Albert Schweitzer
There is within each of us a modulation, an inner exaltation, which lifts us above the buffetings with which events assail us. Likewise, it lifts us above dependence upon the gifts of events for our joy.
Albert Schweitzer
Jesus as a concrete historical personality remains a stranger to our time, but His spirit, which lies hidden in His words, is known in simplicity, and its influence is direct.
Albert Schweitzer
We cannot abdicate our conscience to an organization, nor to a government. 'Am I my brother's keeper?' Most certainly I am! I cannot escape my responsibility by saying the State will do all that is necessary. It is a tragedy that nowadays so many think and feel otherwise.
Albert Schweitzer
Animal protection is education to the humanity.
Albert Schweitzer
The disastrous feature of our civilization is that it is far more developed materially than spiritually. Its balance is disturbed.
Albert Schweitzer
Ethics, too, are nothing but reverence for life. This is what gives me the fundamental principle of morality, namely, that good consists in maintaining, promoting, and enhancing life, and that destroying, injuring, and limiting life are evil.
Albert Schweitzer
Profound love demands a deep conception and out of this develops reverence for the mystery of life. It brings us close to all beings, to the poorest and smallest as well as all others.
Albert Schweitzer
Therapy is the boat across the river, but most don't want to get off. Don't blame, forgive, All healing is self-healing
Albert Schweitzer
Impart as much as you can of your spiritual being to those who are on the road with you, and accept as something precious what comes back to you from them.
Albert Schweitzer
A man who possesses a veneration of life will not simply say his prayers. He will throw himself into the battle to preserve life, if for no other reason than that he himself is an extension of life around him.
Albert Schweitzer
The most difficult thing I have ever had to do is follow the guidance I prayed for.
Albert Schweitzer
Creative energy is the essence of all healing...We physicians do nothing, we only help and encourage the physician within.
Albert Schweitzer
At that point in life where your talent meets the needs of the world, that is where God wants you to be.
Albert Schweitzer
Love . . . includes fellowship in suffering, in joy and in effort.
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
Pain is a more terrible lord of mankind than even death itself.
Albert Schweitzer
Joy, sorrow, tears, lamentation, laughter -- to all these music gives voice
Albert Schweitzer
Thought is the strongest thing we have. Work done by true and profound thought - that is a real force.
Albert Schweitzer
Just as the wave cannot exist for itself, but is ever a part of the heaving surface of the ocean, so must I never live my life for itself, but always in the experience which is going on around me.
Albert Schweitzer
