I have always held firmly to the thought that each one of us can do a little to bring some portion of misery to an end.
From Albert Schweitzer
Man has lost the capacity to foresee and to forestall. He will end by destroying the earth.
Wherever a man turns he can find someone who needs him.
Day by day we should weigh what we have granted to the spirit of the world against what we have denied to the spirit of Jesus, in thought and especially in deed.
A man is ethical only when life, as such, is sacred to him, that of plants and animals as that of his fellow men, and when he devotes himself helpfully to all life that is in need of help.
I wanted to be a doctor that I might be able to work without having to talk because for years I had been giving myself out in words.
Serious illness doesn't bother me for long because I am too inhospitable a host.
Reverence for life affords me my fundamental principle of morality.
By having a reverence for life, we enter into a spiritual relation with the world By practicing reverence for life we become good, deep, and alive.
I can do no other than be reverent before everything that is called life. I can do no other than to have compassion for all that is called life. That is the beginning and the foundation of all ethics.
