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

If you are creative, you may paint objects, portraits, or landscapes, only to be disappointed in what you have made and destroy it afterwards.

extile Mars (Sagittarius)
The extile between Venus and Mars makes you passionate, sensual, loving, and frank. Your love for art breaks through, as art inspires you. But money can run through your fingers like water.
Mercury, in Capricorn, stands for a clear and logical mind. Now we can be more critical and more suspicious. We now have a more exceptional ability to concentrate on difficult tasks and are particularly interested in business matters. Maybe under a Capricorn Mercury, we won't learn particularly quickly, but we will undoubtedly learn things more thoroughly than usual. We are skilled and persistent.
