More quotes by Albert Schweitzer
Do something good and someone might imitate it.
Albert Schweitzer
It is the fate of every truth to be an object of ridicule when it is first acclaimed.
Albert Schweitzer
Don't blame, forgive, All healing is self-healing
Albert Schweitzer
Humanitarianism consists in never sacrificing a human being to a purpose.
Albert Schweitzer
If you truly desire happiness, seek and learn how to serve.
Albert Schweitzer
A thinking man feels compelled to approach all life with the same reverence he has for his own.
Albert Schweitzer
Until he extends his circle of compassion to include all living things, man will not himself find peace.
Albert Schweitzer
Never say there is nothing beautiful in the world anymore. There is always something to make you wonder in the shape of a tree, the trembling of a leaf.
Albert Schweitzer
One truth stands firm. All that happens in world history rests on something spiritual. If the spiritual is strong, it creates world history. If it is weak, it suffers world history.
Albert Schweitzer
Your life is something opaque, not transparent, as long as you look at it in an ordinary human way. But if you hold it up against the light of God's goodness, it shines and turns transparent, radiant and bright. And then you ask yourself in amazement: Is this really my own life I see before me?
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
The future of civilization depends on our overcoming the meaninglessness and hopelessness which characterize the thoughts and convictions of men today, and reaching a state of fresh hope and fresh determination.
Albert Schweitzer
The result of the voyage does not depend on the speed of the ship, but on whether or not it keeps a true course.
Albert Schweitzer
I used to suffer particularly because the poor animals must endure so much pain and want. The sight of an old, limping horse being dragged along by one man while another man struck him with a stick he was being driven to the Colmar slaughterhouse - haunted me for weeks.
Albert Schweitzer
What really matters is that we should all of us realize that we are guilty of inhumanity. The horror of this realization should shakes us out of our lethargy so that we can direct our hopes and our intentions to the coming of an era in which war will have no place.
Albert Schweitzer
We all know how important love is, yet how often is it really emoted or exhibited? What so many sick people in this world suffer from-loneliness, boredom and fear-can't be cured with a pill.
Albert Schweitzer
The destiny of man is to be more and more human.
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
Don't stop to ask whether the animal or plant you meet deserves your sympathy, or how much it feels, or even whether it can feel at all: respect it and consider all life sacred.
Albert Schweitzer
The doctor of the future will be oneself.
Albert Schweitzer
