"I have always held firmly to the..." - Quote by Albert Schweitzer

“It is a man's sympathy with all creatures that first makes him truly a man.”

“Until he extends his circle of compassion to include all living things, man will not himself find peace.”

“One person can and does make a difference.”

“To convert somebody go and take them by the hand and guide them.”

“They [the people under you] may desire help, but more than anything else they desire sympathy. Don't make the mistake of turning such men down with the statement that you have troubles of your own.”

“Therefore, give to the poor. I beg you, I admonish you, I charge you, I command you to give.”

“Real love is not based on attachment, but on altruism. In this case, your compassion will remain as a humane response to suffering as long as beings continue to suffer.”

“If an enemy strikes your left cheek, offer him your right.”

“For a person who cherishes compassion and love, the practice of tolerance is essential, and for that, and enemy is indispinsable. So we should be grateful to our enemies, for it is they who can best help us to develop a tranquil mind.”
