More quotes by Albert Schweitzer
Man is a clever animal who behaves like an imbecile.
Albert Schweitzer
Example is not the main thing in influencing others. It is the only thing.
Albert Schweitzer
That's my private ant. You're liable to break its legs.
Albert Schweitzer
Where possible Paul avoids quoting the teaching of Jesus, in fact even mentioning it. If we had to rely on Paul, we should not know that Jesus taught in parables, had delivered the sermon on the mount, and had taught His disciples the 'Our Father.' Even where they are specially relevant, Paul passes over the words of the Lord.
Albert Schweitzer
I see in him (Dr. Max Gerson) one of the most eminent medical geniuses in the history of medicine...he was greatly impeded by adverse political conditions.
Albert Schweitzer
Those who experiment on animals should never be able to quiet their own conscience by telling themselves that these cruelties have a worthy aim.
Albert Schweitzer
Jesus no doubt fits his teaching into the late-Jewish messianic dogma. But he does not think dogmatically. He formulates no doctrine. He is far from judging any man's belief by reference to any standard of dogmatic correctness. Nowhere does he demand of his hearers that they shall sacrifice thinking to believing.
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
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
Ethical existence [is] the highest manifestation of spirituality.
Albert Schweitzer
It is through the idealism of youth that man catches sight of truth, and in that idealism he possesses a wealth which he must never exchange for anything else.
Albert Schweitzer
Within every patient there resides a doctor, and we as physicians are at our best when we we put our patients in touch with the doctor inside themselves.
Albert Schweitzer
Sincerity is the foundation of the spiritual life.
Albert Schweitzer
In the hopes of reaching the moon men fail to see the flowers that blossom at their feet.
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
All people are endowed with the faculty of compassion, and for this reason can develop the humanitarian spirit.
Albert Schweitzer
The only ones who will find real happiness are those who find a way to serve
Albert Schweitzer
Love is the only thing that increases twofold every time it is shared.
Albert Schweitzer
If you own something you cannot give away, then you don't own it, it owns you.
Albert Schweitzer
A heavy guilt rests upon us for what the whites of all nations have done to the colored peoples. When we do good to them, it is not benevolence--it is atonement.
Albert Schweitzer
