Pain is a more terrible lord of mankind than even death himself  (Albert Schweitzer Quotes) Every man has to seek in his own way to make his own self more noble and to realize his own true worth  (Albert Schweitzer Quotes) Anyone who proposes to do good must not expect people to roll stones out of their way, but must accept their lot calmly, even if people roll a few stones upon it  (Albert Schweitzer Quotes) The first step in the evolution of ethics is an enlargement of the sense of solidarity with other human beings  (Albert Schweitzer Quotes) The the question whether I am a pessimist or an optimist, I answer that my knowledge is pessimistic, but my willing and hope are optimistic  (Albert Schweitzer Quotes) The only thing of importance, when we depart, will be the traces of love we have left behind  (Albert Schweitzer Quotes) The demands of Jesus are difficult because they require us to do something extraordinary.
