The highest possible stage in moral culture is when we recognize that we ought to control our thoughts.
Man is descended from a hairy, tailed quadruped, probably arboreal in its habits.
Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, and not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science.
I cannot persuade myself that a beneficent and omnipotent God would have designedly created parasitic wasps with the express intention of their feeding within the living bodies of Caterpillars.

What did God do before he created the universe?
Quiet people have the loudest minds
The very essence of instinct is that it's followed independently of reason
I'm not afraid of death, but I'm in no hurry to die
People won't have time for you if you are always angry or complaining
I like physics, but I love cartoons

Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it.
Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many.
Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books.
Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders.
Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations.
But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is
conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it
