"Man has lost the capacity to foresee and to forestall. He will end by destroying the earth." ― Albert Schweitzer Topic(s): Nature Tags: capacity More From Albert Schweitzer "Just as the wave cannot exist for itself, but is ever a part of the heaving surface of the ocean, so must I never live my life for itself, but always in the experience which is going on around me." "One truth stands firm. All that happens in world history rests on something spiritual. If the spiritual is strong, it creates world history. If it is weak, it suffers world history." "Happiness is nothing more than good health and a bad memory." More In Nature "Suffering is permanent, obscure and dark, And shares the nature of infinity."― William Wordsworth "There is a certain enthusiasm in liberty, that makes human nature rise above itself, in acts of bravery and heroism."― Alexander Hamilton "Limited in his nature, infinite in his desire, man is a fallen god who remembers heaven."― Alphonse de Lamartine
