The awareness that we are all human beings together has become lost in war and through politics.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
A man can do only what he can do. But if he does that each day he can sleep at night and do it again the next day.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
I am life that wants to live, in the midst of life that wants to live.
Albert Schweitzer

Think occasionally of the suffering of which you spare yourself the sight.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Wherever you turn, you can find someone who needs you. Even if it is a little thing, do something for which there is no pay but the privilege of doing it. Remember, you don't live in a world all of your own
