Albert Schweitzer - THE GREAT PEACEMAKERS

There are two means of refuge from the miseries of life:  music and cats.”   —   Albert Schweitzer

(It’s hard to argue with music!  But some folks are cat people, while others are dog people.  I love both, but come down on the dog side of the preference.  I don’t like litter boxes, and I can’t let nature’s perfect hunters/killers out into the real world.  But that’s just me.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Until he extends the circle of his compassion to all living things, man will not himself find peace.”   —   Albert Schweitzer

(As long as that doesn’t mean we all have to turn vegan, then I’m in total agreement!  Hey!  Plants are living things, so I’m pretty sure we’re cool.  We need to respect the entire living world, or pretty soon we’ll be responsible for our own extinction.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.”   —   Albert Schweitzer

(Big Al . . . strikes again!  I’m pretty sure we had another of his quotes just within the last month.  I’m always open to a good gratitude quote though.  I think “gratitude” is one of those things you have to smack people on the head with, every now and then.  It seems, more often, that people like to whine about all their troubles!  And, if they’re not complaining, they’re taking all their graces for granted.  Appreciate what you got, folks.  Things can always be worse.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

PS.  I wonder if Sam Elliot could pull off a German accent?   😉   —   YUR

At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person.”   —   Albert Schweitzer

(Listen to Big Al, people!  That is why we always need to be excellent to each other.  Pass on your spark!  It will come back to you.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

The only way out of today’s misery is for people to become worthy of each other’s trust.”   —   Albert Schweitzer

(I don’t think that Al could have ever imagined the kind of misery we’re seeing today.  Phone scams targeting the elderly, banks and insurance companies ripping us off with exorbitant rates, celebrity Presidents who cater to corporations and the wealthy, witch hunts/kangaroo courts playing out in social and conventional media, and on and on and on.  Very few seem to be worthy of each other’s trust these days.  What a shame.  Be well and still strive to do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Service:  Never have this word on your lips, but keep it in your hearts.”   — Albert Schweitzer

(This is, sadly, something that most of our elected officials – and, strangely enough, doctors – seem to have forgotten. Money is now the major motive for what used to be the nobler professions. )   — YUR

Ethics, too, are nothing but reverence for life.”   — Albert Schweitzer

(The mighty, mighty Boone dog passed away quietly this morning.  The rascally “pup”, who was once greased lightning, has now gone still.  Somewhere in the ethers there’s a brown, black and white blur of fur laughing and taunting:  Catch me, if you can! Rest in peace, old friend.)   — YUR
