More quotes by Albert Schweitzer
The quiet conscience is the invention of the devil. No one of us may permit any preventable pain to be inflicted even though the responsibility for that pain is not ours. No one may shut his eyes and think that the pain which is therefore not visible, is non-existent.
Albert Schweitzer
For us the great men are not those who solved the problems, but those whodiscovered them.
Albert Schweitzer
The Christ of Theology is not alive for us today. He is wrapped in the grave cloths of dogma.
Albert Schweitzer
Any profound view of the world is mysticism. It has, of course, to deal with life and the world, both of which are nonrational entities.
Albert Schweitzer
O heavenly Father, protect and bless all things that have breath: guard them from all evil and let them sleep in peace.
Albert Schweitzer
In the same way as the tree bears the same fruit year after year, but each time new fruit, all lastingly valuable ideas in thinking must always be reborn.
Albert Schweitzer
The thinking (person) must oppose all cruel customs, no matter how deeply rooted in tradition and surrounded by a halo. When we have a choice, we must avoid bringing torment and injury into the life of another.
Albert Schweitzer
By ethical conduct toward all creatures, we enter into a spiritual relationship with the universe.
Albert Schweitzer
Our degeneration, when it is traced back to its origin in our view of the world really consists in the fact that true optimism has vanished unperceived from our midst.
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 for somebody everyday for which you do not get paid.
Albert Schweitzer
You ask me for a motto. Here it is: SERVICE.
Albert Schweitzer
Animal protection is education to the humanity.
Albert Schweitzer
Wherever a man turns he can find someone who needs him.
Albert Schweitzer
Ethics is the activity of man directed to secure the inner perfection of his own personality.
Albert Schweitzer
A man is truly ethical only when he obeys the compulsion to help all life which he is able to assist, and shrinks from injuring anything that lives.
Albert Schweitzer
Renunciation of thinking is a declaration of spiritual bankruptcy.
Albert Schweitzer
Eventually all things fall into place. Until then, laugh at the confusion, live for the moments, and know EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON.
Albert Schweitzer
The spirit of the age is filled with the disdain for thinking.
Albert Schweitzer
The highest proof of the spirit is love. Love the eternal thing which can already on earth possess as it really is.
Albert Schweitzer
