More quotes by 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
All the kindness which a man puts out into the world works on the heart and thoughts of mankind.
Albert Schweitzer
I wanted to be a doctor that I might be able to work without having to talk because for years I had been giving myself out in words.
Albert Schweitzer
The first step in the evolution of ethics is a sense of solidarity with other human beings.
Albert Schweitzer
Constant Kindness can accomplish much.
Albert Schweitzer

Albert Schweitzer
I look back upon my youth and realize how so many people gave me help, understanding, courage - very important things to me - and they never knew it. They entered into my life and became powers within me.
Albert Schweitzer
Faith which refuses to face indisputable facts is but little faith. Truth is always gain, however hard it is to accommodate ourselves to it. To linger in any kind of untruth proves to be a departure from the straight way of faith.
Albert Schweitzer
Life becomes harder for us when we live for others, but it also becomes richer and happier.
Albert Schweitzer
Train yourself never to put off the word or action for the expression of gratitude.
Albert Schweitzer
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
To educate yourself for the feeling of gratitude means to take nothing for granted.
Albert Schweitzer
From naive simplicity we arrive at more profound simplicity.
Albert Schweitzer
Don't let your hearts grow numb. Stay alert. It is your soul which matters.
Albert Schweitzer
Man must cease attributing his problems to his environment, and learn again to exercise his will - his personal responsibility in the realm of faith and morals.
Albert Schweitzer
Reverence for life affords me my fundamental principle of morality.
Albert Schweitzer
Whoever is spared personal pain must feel himself called to help in diminishing the pain of others. We must all carry our share of the misery which lies upon the world.
Albert Schweitzer
In the hearts of people today there is a deep longing for peace. When the true spirit of peace is thoroughly dominant, it becomes an inner experience with unlimited possibilities. Only when this really happens - when the spirit of peace awakens and takes possession of men's hearts, can humanity be saved from perishing.
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
Ethics is the activity of man directed to secure the inner perfection of his own personality.
Albert Schweitzer
