More quotes by Albert Schweitzer
We ought all to make an effort to act on our first thoughts and let our unspoken gratitude find expression. Then there will be more sunshine in the world, and more power to work for what is good.
Albert Schweitzer
Ideals are thoughts. So long as they exist merely as thoughts, the power in them remains ineffective.
Albert Schweitzer
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.
Albert Schweitzer
One who gains strength by overcoming obstacles possesses the only strength which can overcome adversity.
Albert Schweitzer
In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.
Albert Schweitzer
For those who sincerely seek the truth should not fear the outcome.
Albert Schweitzer
Do not let Sunday be taken from you. If your soul has no Sunday, it becomes an orphan.
Albert Schweitzer
Joy, sorrow, tears, lamentation, laughter -- to all these music gives voice
Albert Schweitzer
Any religion or philosophy which is not based on a respect for life is not a true religion or philosophy.
Albert Schweitzer
The last fact which knowledge can discover is that the world is a manifestation, and in every way a puzzling manifestation, of the universal will to live.
Albert Schweitzer
Only those who respect the personality of others can be of real use to them.
Albert Schweitzer
Your life is something opaque, not transparent, as long as you look at it in an ordinary human way. But if you hold it up against the light of God's goodness, it shines and turns transparent, radiant and bright. And then you ask yourself in amazement: Is this really my own life I see before me?
Albert Schweitzer
Let me give you a definition of ethics: It is good to maintain and further life it is bad to damage and destroy life.
Albert Schweitzer
The greatest thing is to give thanks for everything. He who has learned this knows what it means to live. He has penetrated the whole mystery of life: giving thanks for everything.
Albert Schweitzer
We must never allow the voice of humanity within us to be silenced. It is humanity's sympathy with all creatures that first makes us truly human.
Albert Schweitzer
Those who experiment on animals should never be able to quiet their own conscience by telling themselves that these cruelties have a worthy aim.
Albert Schweitzer
The willow which bends to the tempest, often escapes better than the oak which resists it and so in great calamities, it sometimes happens that light and frivolous spirits recover their elasticity and presence of mind sooner than those of a loftier character.
Albert Schweitzer
If you own something you cannot give away, then you don't own it, it owns you.
Albert Schweitzer
Search and see if there is not some place where you may invest your humanity.
Albert Schweitzer
The quiet conscience is an invention of the devil.
Albert Schweitzer
