About Albert Schweitzer:
Albert Schweitzer was a German—and later French—theologian, organist, philosopher, physician, and medical missionary in Africa, also known for his historical work on Jesus. He was born in the province of Alsace-Lorraine, at that time part of the German Empire, though he considered himself French[citation needed] and wrote mostly in French.
The purpose of human life is to serve, and to show compassion and the will to help others.
