Infinite striving to be the best is man's duty It is its own reward. Everything else is in god's hands. It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer.

For the moral attitudes of a people that is supported by religion need always aim at preserving and promoting the sanity and vitality of the community and its individuals, since otherwise this community is bound to perish. A people that were to honour falsehood, defamation, fraud, and murder would be unable, indeed, to subsist for very long.

To see with one's own eyes, to feel and judge without succumbing to the suggestive power of the fashion of the day, to be able to express what one has seen and felt in a snappy sentence or even in a cunningly wrought word - is that not glorious? Is it not a proper subject for congregation?

The ideals which have always shone before me and filled me with the joy of living are goodness, beauty, and truth. To make a goal of comfort or happiness has never appealed to me a system of ethics built on this basis would be sufficient only for a herd of cattle.

On the other hand, the concept owes its meaning and its justification exclusively to the totality of the sense impressions which we associate with it.

If they want to see me, here I am. If they want to see my clothes, open my closet and show them my suits.

The only thing that you absolutely have to know, is the location of the library.

The illusion that we are separate from one another is an optical delusion of our consciousness.

Ever since childhood I have scorned the commonplace limits so often set upon human ambition. Possessions, outward success, publicity, luxury - to me these have always been contemptible. I believe that a simple and unassuming manner of life is best for everyone best both for the body and the mind
