I do not know what your destiny may be, but I do know this, that not one of you will find the happiness that each of you is seeking until you have first sought and found a way in which to unselfishly serve others.

More quotes by Albert Schweitzer
At that point in life where your talent meets the needs of the world, that is where God wants you to be.
Albert Schweitzer
It is through the idealism of youth that man catches sight of truth, and in that idealism he possesses a wealth which he must never exchange for anything else.
Albert Schweitzer
Happiness is the only thing that multiplies when you share it.
Albert Schweitzer
By ethical conduct toward all creatures, we enter into a spiritual relationship with the universe.
Albert Schweitzer
Jesus means something to our world because a mighty spiritual force streams forth from him and flows through our being also. This fact can neither be shaken nor confirmed by any historical discovery. It is the solid foundation of Christianity.
Albert Schweitzer
The gratitude that we encounter helps us believe in the goodness of the world, and strengthens us thereby to do what's good.
Albert Schweitzer
Think occasionally of the suffering of which you spare yourself the sight.
Albert Schweitzer
If the extension of your compassion does not include all living beings, then you will be unable to find peace by yourself.
Albert Schweitzer
A man is ethical only when life, as such, is sacred to him, that of plants and animals as that of his fellow men, and when he devotes himself helpfully to all life that is in need of help.
Albert Schweitzer
The great fault of all ethics hitherto has been that they believed themselves to have to deal only with the relations of man to man. In reality, however, the question is what is his attitude to the world and all life that comes within his reach.
Albert Schweitzer
Ethics is nothing else than reverence for life.
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
It doesn't matter if an animal can reason. It matters only that it is capable of suffering and that is why I consider it my neighbor.
Albert Schweitzer
Therapy is the boat across the river, but most don't want to get off. Don't blame, forgive, All healing is self-healing
Albert Schweitzer
Do something good and someone might imitate it.
Albert Schweitzer
I have always held firmly to the thought that each one of us can do a little to bring some portion of misery to an end.
Albert Schweitzer
Any religion or philosophy which is not based on a respect for life is not a true religion or philosophy.
Albert Schweitzer
Man has lost the capacity to foresee and to forestall. He will end by destroying the earth.
Albert Schweitzer
The great secret of success is to go through life as a man who never gets used to failing.
Albert Schweitzer
An idea is, in the end, always stronger than circumstances.
Albert Schweitzer
