Albert Schweitzer

Example is leadership.

Never say there is nothing beautiful in the world anymore. There is always something to make you wonder in the shape of a tree, the trembling of a leaf.

Man has lost the capacity to foresee and to forestall. He will end by destroying the earth.

One who gains strength by overcoming obstacles possesses the only strength which can overcome adversity.

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.

Sometimes our light goes out but is blown into flame by another human being. Each of us owes deepest thanks to those who have rekindled this light.

Do something for somebody everyday for which you do not get paid.

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.

The highest proof of the spirit is love. Love the eternal thing which can already on earth possess as it really is.

Do not let Sunday be taken from you. If your soul has no Sunday, it becomes an orphan.

Just as the wave cannot exist for itself, but is ever a part of the heaving surface of the ocean, so must I never live my life for itself, but always in the experience which is going on around me.

Until he extends his circle of compassion to include all living things, man will not himself find peace.
