Albert Schweitzer

The purpose of human life is to serve, and to show compassion and the will to help others. ”

As soon as man does not take his existence for granted, but beholds it as something unfathomably mysterious, thought begins. ”

Example is not the main thing in influencing others. It is the only thing. ”

Man can hardly even recognize the devils of his own creation. ”

Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful. ”

At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us. ”

Happiness is nothing more than good health and a bad memory. ”

The true worth of a man is not to be found in man himself, but in the colours and textures that come alive in others. ”

Everything deep is also simple and can be reproduced simply as long as its reference to the whole truth is maintained. But what matters is not what is witty but what is true. ”

One truth stands firm. All that happens in world history rests on something spiritual. If the spiritual is strong, it creates world history. If it is weak, it suffers world history. ”
