Albert Schweitzer

Ethics is nothing else than reverence for life.

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

Constant kindness can accomplish much. As the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust, and hostility to evaporate.

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

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 wonderful, people may imitate it.

An optimist is a person who sees a green light everywhere, while a pessimist sees only the red stoplight... the truly wise person is colorblind.

There are two means of refuge from the miseries of life: music and cats.

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.

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

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

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.
