It is not enough to merely exist. It's not enough to say, 'I'm earning enough to live and support my family. I do my work well. I'm a good parent.' That's all very well. But you must do something more.

More quotes by 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
Think occasionally of the suffering of which you spare yourself the sight.
Albert Schweitzer
The great secret of success is to go through life as a man who never gets used to failing.
Albert Schweitzer
We are united with all life that is in nature. Man can no longer live his life for himself alone.
Albert Schweitzer
Think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flames within us.
Albert Schweitzer
What has been presented as Christianity during these nineteen centuries is only a beginning, full of mistakes, not full blown Christianity springing from the spirit of Jesus.
Albert Schweitzer
All art speaks in signs and symbols. No one can explain how it happens that the artist can waken to life in us the existence that he has seen and lives through. No artistic speech is the adequate expression of what it represents its vital force comes from what is unspoken in it.
Albert Schweitzer
My life carries its own meaning in itself.
Albert Schweitzer
Thought is the strongest thing we have.
Albert Schweitzer
Because I have confidence in the power of truth and in the spirit, I believe in the future of mankind. Affirmation of the world and of life contains within itself an optimistic willing and hoping which can never be lost. It is, therefore, never afraid to face the dismal reality and to see it as it really is.
Albert Schweitzer
Good is that which promotes life, evil is that which destroys life
Albert Schweitzer
I don't know what your destiny will be, but one thing I know: the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who will have sought and found how to serve.
Albert Schweitzer
It seemed to me a matter of course that we should all take our share of the burden of pain which lies upon the world.
Albert Schweitzer
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
A man does not have to be an angel in order to be saint.
Albert Schweitzer
Just as the wave cannot exist for itself, but is ever a part of the heaving surface of the ocean, so must I never live my life for itself, but always in the experience which is going on around me.
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
From naive simplicity we arrive at more profound simplicity.
Albert Schweitzer
The deeper we look into nature, the more we recognize that it is full of life, and the more profoundly we know that all life is a secret and that we are united with all life that is in nature.
Albert Schweitzer
Bach is thus a terminal point. Nothing comes from him everything merely leads to him.
Albert Schweitzer
