Albert SchweitzerThe true worth of a man is not to be found in man himself, but in the colours and textures that come alive in others.
Albert SchweitzerThe the question whether I am a pessimist or an optimist, I answer that my knowledge is pessimistic, but my willing and hope are optimistic.
Albert SchweitzerWhere possible Paul avoids quoting the teaching of Jesus, in fact even mentioning it.
