"Only when an ideal of peace is..." - Quote by Albert Schweitzer

“You must not expect anything from others. It's you, of yourself, of whom you must ask a lot. Only from oneself has one the right to ask everything and anything. This way it's up to you - your own choices - what you get from others remains a present, a gift.”

“Where principles and heart stand in conflict with each other, let us make the law of the spirit free from the law of principles.”

“To work for the common good is the greatest creed.”

“Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding. You cannot subjugate a nation forcibly unless you wipe out every man, woman, and child. Unless you wish to use such drastic measures, you must find a way of settling your disputes without resort to arms.”

“When many people are killed, they should be mourned and lamented. Those who are victorious in war should follow the rites of funerals.”

“When you are fully conscious, drama does not come into your life anymore.”

“Once you attempt legislation upon religious grounds, you open the way for every kind of intolerance and religious persecution.”

“Each new generation born is in effect an invasion of civilization by little barbarians, who must be civilized before it is too late.”

“There is always more misery among the lower classes than there is humanity in the higher.”
