He became involved as a doctor in Africa and founded a hospital in Lambaréné in 1913. His many talents earned him several doctorates. After graduating high school, he pursued his musical talents by studying organ music and piano in Paris. In addition, he studied theology and philosophy in Strasbourg. in 1905; he wrote a biography of Johann Sebastian Bach. Since the young, ambitious Schweitzer wanted to work as a missionary but was denied this, he studied medicine (1905-1913) to pursue this activity. At the same time, he received the title of professor in 1912 for his achievements in theology. Animal welfare was always close to Albert Schweitzer's heart. The Albert Schweitzer Foundation campaigns for peaceful animal life and against factory farming.
Quotes from Albert Schweitzer
- To think with the heart is the right way for man.
- Man is ethical only if he regards life as such, that of plants and animals and that of man, as sacred, and if he gives himself helpfully to life in need.
- I have become a person who is somewhat dangerous for others because I represent the thought among them that all happiness we experience means that we must give away something of our lives for it.
- He who undertakes to do good must not expect that people will remove stones from his path because of it but must be prepared for the fateful thing that they will roll some on him.
- Animals cannot speak, yet they think much more than we imagine

You need to remember that Venus is exalted in Pisces, and Pisces is ruled by Neptune. This Trine can bring karmic gifts and financial rewards due to previous right-doings. It is a wonderful time for charitable work, and attracting real love into your life. Remember to be kind during this transit, and that kindness will be reflected back to you. It is a wonderful time to pick up a guitar, or paintbrush, as a new hobby, and go to the theater to watch ballet and theatrical dramas. It's also a great time to host, invite friends you love over, and offer beautiful food!
The Sagittarius moon makes us spirited and fiery. One is somewhat restless and inconsistent these days. The Sagittarius Moon is an excellent period to educate ourselves and deal with the highest things in life.
