Albert Schweitzer
God, Heart, World
Albert Schweitzer (1956). “An anthology”

Do not lose heart, even if you must wait a bit before finding the right thing. Be prepared for disappointment also, but do not abandon the quest.

Albert Schweitzer
Disappointment, Heart, Waiting

Heart, Soul, Matter
Albert Schweitzer (1979). “Reverence for Life”, p.125, Ardent Media

For animals that are overworked, underfed, and cruelly treated; for all wistful creatures in captivity that beat their wings against bars; for any that are hunted or lost or deserted or frightened or hungry; for all that must be put to death...and for those who deal with them we ask a heart of compassion and gentle hands and kindly words.

Albert Schweitzer
Heart, Animal, Compassion

In the hearts of people today there is a deep longing for peace. When the true spirit of peace is thoroughly dominant, it becomes an inner experience with unlimited possibilities. Only when this really happens - when the spirit of peace awakens and takes possession of men's hearts, can humanity be saved from perishing.

Albert Schweitzer
Peace, Heart, Men

When people have light in themselves, it will shine out from them. Then we get to know each other as we walk together in the darkness, without needing to pass our hands over each other's faces, or to intrude into each other's hearts.

Albert Schweitzer
Heart, Hands, Light
Albert Schweitzer (2015). “The Light Within Us”, p.14, Open Road Media

I still remain convinced that truth, love, peaceableness, meekness, and kindness are the violence which can master all other violence. The world will be theirs as soon as ever a sufficient number of people with purity of heart, with strength, and with perseverance think and live out the thoughts of love and truth, of meekness and peaceableness.

Albert Schweitzer
Perseverance, Kindness, Heart
Albert Schweitzer (2015). “The Light Within Us”, p.16, Open Road Media

Man has become a superman ... because he not only disposes oinnate, physical forces, but because he is in command ... olatent forces in nature and because he can put them to his service.... But the essential fact we must surely all feel in our hearts ... is that we are becoming inhuman in proportion as we become supermen.

Albert Schweitzer
Nature, Heart, Men

All the kindness which a man puts out into the world works on the heart and thoughts of mankind.

Albert Schweitzer
Kindness, Heart, Men
Albert Schweitzer (2014). “A Treasury of Albert Schweitzer”, p.62, Open Road Media

If there is anything I have learned about men and women, it is that there is a deeper spirit of altruism than is ever evident. Just as the rivers we see are minor compared to the underground streams, so, too, the idealism that is visible is minor compared to what people carry in their hearts unreleased or scarcely released.

Albert Schweitzer
Heart, Men, Compassion

Where principles and heart stand in conflict with each other, let us make the law of the spirit free from the law of principles.

Albert Schweitzer
Heart, Law, Principles

We are compelled by the commandment of love contained in our hearts and thought, and proclaimed by Jesus, to give rein to our natural sympathy for animals. We are also compelled to help them and spare them suffering.

Jesus, Heart, Animal
