Thought for the Day


“Happiness is nothing more than
good health and a bad memory.”
~ Albert Schweitzer

Albert Schweitzer (14 January 1875 - 4 September 1965) (aged 90)
A Franco-German (Alsatian) theologian, organist, philosopher, physician, and medical missionary. Schweitzer challenged both the secular view of Jesus as depicted by historical-critical methodology current at his time in certain academic circles, as well as the traditional Christian view, depicting a Jesus Christ who expected and predicted the imminent end of the world. He received the 1952 Nobel Peace Prize for his philosophy of “Reverence for Life”. Source
