More quotes by Albert Schweitzer
You must learn to understand the secret of gratitude. It is more than just so-called virtue. It is revealed to you as a mysterious law of existence. In obedience to it we have to fulfill our destiny.
Albert Schweitzer
God much are the truly wealthy. So our inner happiness depends not on what we experience but on the degree of our gratitude to God, Gratitude — the Secret of Life.
Albert Schweitzer
True philosophy must start from the most immediate and comprehensive fact of consciousness: I am life that wants to live, in the midst of life that wants to live.
Albert Schweitzer
The demands of Jesus are difficult just because they require us to do something extraordinary. At the same time he asks us to regard these as something usual, ordinary.
Albert Schweitzer

Albert Schweitzer
At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.
Albert Schweitzer
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
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
We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.
Albert Schweitzer
Man can hardly even recognize the devils of his own creation.
Albert Schweitzer
To educate yourself for the feeling of gratitude means to take nothing for granted.
Albert Schweitzer
You must not expect anything from others. It's you, of yourself, of whom you must ask a lot. Only from oneself has one the right to ask everything and anything. This way it's up to you - your own choices - what you get from others remains a present, a gift.
Albert Schweitzer
Do something good and someone might imitate it.
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
We are all so much together, but we are all dying of loneliness.
Albert Schweitzer
If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.
Albert Schweitzer
Ideals are thoughts. So long as they exist merely as thoughts, the power in them remains ineffective.
Albert Schweitzer
Aim for service and success will follow!
Albert Schweitzer
Preservation of life is the only true joy.
Albert Schweitzer
In modern European thought a tragedy is occurring in that the original bonds uniting the affirmative attitude towards the world with ethics are, by a slow but irresistible process, loosening and finally parting. Out of my life and Thought.
