More quotes by Albert Schweitzer
Man can hardly even recognize the devils of his own creation.
Albert Schweitzer
Man can no longer live his life for himself alone. We realize that all life is valuable and that we are united to all this life. From this knowledge comes our spiritual relationship to the universe.
Albert Schweitzer
That's my private ant. You're liable to break its legs.
Albert Schweitzer
Serious illness doesn't bother me for long because I am too inhospitable a host.
Albert Schweitzer
Not one of us knows what effect his life produces, and what he gives to others that is hidden from us and must remain so, though we are often allowed to see some little fraction of it, so that we may not lose courage.
Albert Schweitzer
The harvested fields bathed in the autumn mist speak of God and his goodness far more vividly than any human lips.
Albert Schweitzer
Awakening of Western thought will not be complete until that thought steps outside itself and comes to an understanding with the search for a world-view as this manifests itself in the thought of mankind as a whole.
Albert Schweitzer
Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.
Albert Schweitzer
Only those who respect the personality of others can be of real use to them.
Albert Schweitzer
Wherever a man turns he can find someone who needs him.
Albert Schweitzer
You don't live in a world all alone. Your brothers are here too.
Albert Schweitzer
Seek always to do some good, somewhere... Even if it's a little thing, so something for those that need help, something for which you get no pay but the privilege of doing it.
Albert Schweitzer
Every patient carries her or his own doctor inside.
Albert Schweitzer
Preservation of life is the only true joy.
Albert Schweitzer
Renunciation of thinking is a declaration of spiritual bankruptcy.
Albert Schweitzer
If there is anything I have learned about men and women, it is that there is a deeper spirit of altruism than is ever evident. Just as the rivers we see are minor compared to the underground streams, so, too, the idealism that is visible is minor compared to what people carry in their hearts unreleased or scarcely released.
Albert Schweitzer
I am certain and have always stressed that the destination of mankind is to become more and more humane. The ideal of humanity has to be revived.
Albert Schweitzer
Any religion or philosophy which is not based on a respect for life is not a true religion or philosophy.
Albert Schweitzer
Every start on an untrodden path is a venture which only in unusual circumstances looks sensible and likely to succeed.
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
