14 January: Albert Schweitzer Quotes

This date in 1875 saw the birth of Albert Schweitzer, German musician, philosopher, and humanitarian. Here are 10 quotes to celebrate his birthday.

  1. There are two means of refuge from the miseries of life: Music and Cats.
  2. Happiness is nothing more than good health and a bad memory.
  3. Constant kindness can accomplish much. As the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust, and hostility to evaporate.
  4. At that point in life where your talent meets the needs of the world, that is where God wants you to be.
  5. If you own something you cannot give away, then you don't own it, it owns you.
  6. A good example has twice the value of good advice.
  7. The only thing of importance, when we depart, will be the traces of love we have left behind.
  8. Happiness is the only thing that multiplies when you share it.
  9. The path of awakening is not about becoming who you are. Rather it is about unbecoming who you are not.
  10. The tragedy of life is what dies inside a man while he lives.
