More quotes by Albert Schweitzer

Image
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
Image
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
Image
Think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flames within us.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
In the hopes of reaching the moon men fail to see the flowers that blossom at their feet.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
You must learn to understand the secret of gratitude. It is more than just so-called virtue. It is revealed to you as a mysterious law of existence. In obedience to it we have to fulfill our destiny.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
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
Image
To work for the common good is the greatest creed.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
The greatest living person in the world is some individual who at this very moment has gone in love to help another.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
The true worth of a man is not to be found in man himself, but in the colours and textures that come alive in others.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
It's not enough merely to exist. Every man has to seek in his own way to make his own self more noble and to relize his own true worth.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
No man need fear death, he need fear only that he may die without having known his greatest power: the power of his free will to give his life for others
Albert Schweitzer
Image
That's my private ant. You're liable to break its legs.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Set a great example. Someone may imitate it.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Profound love demands a deep conception and out of this develops reverence for the mystery of life. It brings us close to all beings, to the poorest and smallest as well as all others.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Your soul suffers if you live superficially.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
We are all so much together, but we are all dying of loneliness.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
I still remain convinced that truth, love, peaceableness, meekness, and kindness are the violence which can master all other violence. The world will be theirs as soon as ever a sufficient number of people with purity of heart, with strength, and with perseverance think and live out the thoughts of love and truth, of meekness and peaceableness.

One person can and does make a difference.

Joy, sorrow, tears, lamentation, laughter -- to all these music gives voice
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Joy, sorrow, tears, lamentation, laughter -- to all these music gives voice, but in such a way that we are transported from the world of unrest to a world of peace, and see reality in a new way, as if we were sitting by a mountain lake and contemplating hills and woods and clouds in the tranquil and fathomless water.
