"An optimist is a person who sees..." - Quote by Albert Schweitzer

“Seek always to do some good, somewhere... Even if it's a little thing, so something for those that need help, something for which you get no pay but the privilege of doing it.”

“Civilization can only revive when there shall come into being in a number of individuals a new tone of mind independent of the one prevalent among the crowd and in opposition to it. A new public opinion must be created privately and unobtrusively. The existing one is maintained by the press, by propaganda, by organization, and by financial influences which are at its disposal. The unnatural way of spreading ideas must be opposed by the natural one, which goes from man to man and relies solely on the truth of the thoughts and the hearer's receptiveness of new truth.”

“The only way out of today's misery is for people to become worthy of each other's trust.”

“Rejoice that you have still have a long time to live, before the thought comes to you that there is nothing more in the world to see.”

“It is part of the American character to consider nothing as desperate.”

“Through love all that is bitter will be sweet.”

“It is better to know how to learn than to know.”

“I admire answers to which no answers can be made.”

“Wise men speak because they have something to say”
