You're forgetting Albert Schweitzer.
Quotes:
"Until he extends his circle of compassion to include all living things,
man will not himself find peace."
"There are two means of refuge from the miseries of life: music and cats."
"We are all so much together, but we are all dying of loneliness."
"Reverence for life affords me my fundamental principle of morality."
"Man is a clever animal who behaves like an imbecile."
"If a man loses his reverence for any part of life, he will lose his
reverence for all of life."
"By respect for life we become religious in a way that is elementary,
profound and alive."
"A man is ethical only when life, as such, is sacred to him, that of
plants and animals as that of his fellow men, and when he devotes himself
helpfully to all life that is in need of help."
And, my favorite:
"A man does not have to be an angel in order to be saint."
