Albert Schweitzer

Quote with Calendar
Theologian - 1875-1965

And we must inevitably resign ourselves to this. Albert Schweitzer

The time will come when public opinion will no longer tolerate amusements based on the mistreatment and killing of animals. The time will come, but when? When will we reach the point that hunting, the pleasure in killing animals for sport, will be regarded as a mental aberration? Albert Schweitzer
