More quotes by Albert Schweitzer
A man is ethical only when life, as such, is sacred to him.
Albert Schweitzer

Albert Schweitzer

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
Love ... is a living reality.
Albert Schweitzer
Grow into your ideals so that life cannot rob you of them.
Albert Schweitzer
Anyone who proposes to do good must not expect people to roll stones out of his way, but must accept his lot calmly if they even roll a few more on it.

Albert Schweitzer

Albert Schweitzer
Knowing all truth is less than doing a little bit of good.
Albert Schweitzer

Albert Schweitzer
There are two means of refuge from the miseries of life: music and cats.
Albert Schweitzer
Wherever a man turns he can find someone who needs him.
Albert Schweitzer
Train yourself never to put off the word or action for the expression of gratitude.
