SUITABLE FOR FRAMING:
Words of Wisdom from
Albert Schweitzer (1875-1965)
-
He was a French theologian, musician,
and medical missionary; a brilliant scholar who became a missionary doctor
and founded Lambarene Hospital in French Equatorial Africa. He won the
1952 Nobel Peace Prize.
Truth has no special time
of its own.
Its hour is now -- always.
I too had thoughts once
of being an intellectual
but I found it too difficult.
The tragedy of life is
what dies inside a man while
he lives.
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.
A man can do only what a
man can do.
But if he does that each
day he can sleep at night
and do it again the next
day.
From naive simplicity we
arrive
at more profound simplicity.
Happiness is nothing more
than
good health and a bad memory.
The great secret of success
is to go through life
as a man who never gets
used up.
