Image
Ideals are thoughts. So long as they exist merely as thoughts, the power in them remains ineffective.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Good is that which promotes life, evil is that which destroys life
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Constant Kindness can accomplish much.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
A man can do only what he can do. But if he does that each day he can sleep at night and do it again the next day.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Anyone who has accustomed himself to regard the life of any living creature as worthless is in danger of arriving also at the idea of worthless human lives.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Faith which refuses to face indisputable facts is but little faith. Truth is always gain, however hard it is to accommodate ourselves to it. To linger in any kind of untruth proves to be a departure from the straight way of faith.

Love is the only thing that increases twofold every time it is shared.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Creative energy is the essence of all healing...We physicians do nothing, we only help and encourage the physician within.

My life is my argument.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Ethics are complete, profound and alive only when addressed to all living beings. Only then are we in spiritual connection with the world. Any philosophy not representing this, not based on the indefinite totality of life, is bound to disappear.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Constant kindness can accomplish much. As the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust, and hostility to evaporate.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
The great secret of success is to go through life as a person who never gets used up. That is possible for those who never argue and strive with people and facts, but in all experience retires upon themselves, and look for the ultimate cause of things in themselves.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
There are two means of refuge from the miseries of life: music and cats.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Do something for somebody everyday for which you do not get paid.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
The path of awakening is not about becoming who you are. Rather it is about unbecoming who you are not.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
The elemental fact, present in our consciousness every moment of our existence, is: I am life that wills to live, in the midst of life that wills to live.... The essence of the humane spirit is: Preserve life, promote life, help life to achieve its highest destiny. The essence of Evil is: Destroy life, harm life, hamper the development of life
Albert Schweitzer

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
Do something wonderful, people may imitate it.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
To work for the common good is the greatest creed.
