Albert Schweitzer Quotes

Without deep reflection one knows from daily life that one exists for other people.

If we don't spend our time on this earth looking out for one another, what are we really doing with our lives?

We know that we're fortunate. We have a wonderful life and it is an honour for us to be of service, and every single day dedicated to helping others and making this society and this country a better place for more people.

We are all here on earth to help others.

Wherever you turn, you can find someone who needs you. Even if it is a little thing, do something for which there is no pay but the privilege of doing it. Remember, you don't live in a world all of your own

I was raised in a spirit of the importance of service to your fellow man. My mom is a senator back home in South Africa. My father is a very caring and generous individual.

The idea of service leads to community.

The thing that lies at the foundation of positive change, the way I see it, is service to a fellow human being.

Wherever a man turns he can find someone who needs him.

The end of all education should surely be service to others

I've learned that all of us should be constantly mindful of what's going on around us. Sometimes I think we get pretty single-minded in our pursuits and forget that we really do need each other. We need to actively engage in giving and helping each other every day.

Service that benefits the community and those in need is an act that betters us all.

We are fortunate people. It is our need and responsibility to help our fellow man.

It is the spread of the good things that vindicates the whole reason we live our lives in networks. If I was always violent to you or gave you germs, you would cut the ties to me and the network would disintegrate. In a deep and fundamental way, networks are connected to goodness, and goodness is required for networks to emerge and spread.

If you want to experience joy in your life, you have to be able to step outside yourself and become part of a cause that is much larger than you; one that brings a greater good to a greater community.

I think that if you start teaching about giving back and helping other people young, that will be a given for your child their whole life.

If we all make a concerted effort and try to improve the life of someone else, then this world would be a better place to live in.
