Albert Schweitzer

Truth has no special time of its own. Its hour is now—always.

Wherever a man turns, he can find a good cause to serve.

Man must cease to be the destroyer of life and become its preserver.

The thinking man must be a thinking man for all life, not just for human life.

The world is in a bad state, but it will be saved by the youth.

Happiness is nothing more than health and a poor memory.

The more a man is in harmony with the world, the more he is in harmony with himself.

The human spirit is not dead. It is sleeping.

The only way to escape the corruptible effect of praise is to go on working.

The only true happiness comes from squandering ourselves for a purpose.

The highest form of worship is to serve humanity.

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

Reverence for life is the highest principle.

Man must cease to be a burden on nature.

The only ones among you who will be really happy are those who will have sought and found how to serve.

The more deeply we look into nature, the more we recognize that it is full of life, and the more profoundly we know that all life is a mystery.

Example is not the main thing in influencing others, it is the only thing.

The most important thing is to be human.

The thinking man must oppose all cruel customs, no matter how deeply rooted in tradition and surrounded by a halo. When we have a choice, we must avoid bringing suffering upon any living creature, great or small.

What you have to do is to show people the way to a better life.
