Albert Schweitzer

Help me to fling my life like a flaming firebrand into the gathering darkness of the world.

Albert Schweitzer

Humanitarianism consists in never sacrificing a human being to a purpose.

Albert Schweitzer

I am life that wants to live, in the midst of life that wants to live.

Albert Schweitzer

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.

Albert Schweitzer

I don’t know what your destiny will be, but one thing I know: the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who have sought and found how to serve.

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

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

If the extension of your compassion does not include all living beings, then you will be unable to find peace by yourself.

Albert Schweitzer

If you study life deeply, its profundity will seize you suddenly with dizziness.

Albert Schweitzer

Impart as much as you can of your spiritual being to those who are on the road with you, and accept as something precious what comes back to you from them.
