- Albert Schweitzer
About this Quote
This quote by Albert Schweitzer speaks with the idea of setting sensible goals and expectations for oneself. It motivates us to focus on what we can do, rather than what we can not. By doing what we can every day, we can be material with our initiatives as well as have the inspiration to continue the next day. This quote is a reminder that we need to not be also hard on ourselves and that we must focus on our own abilities. It is a reminder that we need to not compare ourselves to others, however instead focus on our very own progression. This quote is a suggestion that we ought to take pride in our success, regardless of just how little, which we should make every effort to do our finest each day.

"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character"
