Religion and science are the two conjugated faces or phases of one and the same complete act of knowledge – the only one which can embrace the past and future of evolution and so contemplate, measure and fulfil them.

I’m an atheist.

Religion is not going to come up with any new arguments.

We need enlightenment, not just individually but collectively, to save the planet. We need to awaken ourselves. We need to practice mindfulness if we want to have a future, if we want to save ourselves and the planet.

Life contains but two tragedies. One is not to get your heart’s desire; the other is to get it.

I think the definition of a book is changing.

The most remarkable discovery in all of astronomy is that the stars are made of atoms of the same kind as those on the earth.

The word ‚belief‘ is a difficult thing for me. I don’t believe. I must have a reason for a certain hypothesis. Either I know a thing, and then I know it – I don’t need to believe it.

To say that Christ is the term and motive force of evolution, to say that he manifests himself as ‚evolver,‘ is implicitly to recognize that he becomes attainable in and through the whole process of evolution.

All religions must be tolerated… for every man must get to heaven in his own way.

I used to carry my father’s Bible and put it on the pulpit so he could preach.

Knowledge becomes evil if the aim be not virtuous.

Whosoever is delighted in solitude is either a wild beast or a god.

Creativity is the key to success in the future, and primary education is where teachers can bring creativity in children at that level.

Vanity of science. Knowledge of physical science will not console me for ignorance of morality in time of affliction, but knowledge of morality will always console me for ignorance of physical science.

Those who have knowledge, don’t predict. Those who predict, don’t have knowledge.

No one even knows one percent of the fabulous history of Man; but thanks to history, we know about occurrences that go beyond the limits of the imaginable.

It is well known that the Soviet Union closely regulates all organizations and movements, including religion.

Human nature is not totally fixed, but on any realistic scale, evolutionary processes are much too slow to affect it.

If knowledge can create problems, it is not through ignorance that we can solve them.

Times and conditions change so rapidly that we must keep our aim constantly focused on the future.

When I began in 1960, individuality wasn’t an accepted thing to look for; it was about species-specific behaviour. But animal behaviour is not hard science. There’s room for intuition.

I’m here as a product of process of evolution, which doesn’t make very many exceptions. And which rates life relatively cheaply.

Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ can be bolstered as we learn about Him and live our religion. The doctrine of Jesus Christ was designed by the Lord to help us increase our faith.

Let your religion be less of a theory and more of a love affair.

Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. I needn’t argue with that; I’m right and I will be proved right. We’re more popular than Jesus now; I don’t know which will go first – rock and roll or Christianity.

We must restore hope to young people, help the old, be open to the future, spread love. Be poor among the poor. We need to include the excluded and preach peace.

The foundation of every state is the education of its youth.

It now appears that the way the universe began can indeed be determined, using imaginary time.

It is not when truth is dirty, but when it is shallow, that the lover of knowledge is reluctant to step into its waters.

People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness. Just because they’re not on your road doesn’t mean they’ve gotten lost.

The free world must not prove itself worthy of its own past.

Democracy is the art and science of running the circus from the monkey cage.

All that mankind has done, thought or been: it is lying as in magic preservation in the pages of books.

The future is like heaven, everyone exalts it, but no one wants to go there now.

In business, the idea of measuring what you are doing, picking the measurements that count like customer satisfaction and performance… you thrive on that.
