Albert Schweitzer

"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."

"Life becomes harder for us when we live for others, but it also becomes richer and happier."

"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."

"The great secret of success is to go through life as a man who never gets used up."

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

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