“True religion is real living; living with all one's soul, with all one's goodness and righteousness.”

“Only one who devotes himself to a cause with his whole strength and soul can be a true master. For this reason mastery demands all of a person.”

“For any one who is pervaded with the sense of causal law in all that happens, who accepts in real earnest the assumption of causality, the idea of a Being who interferes with the sequence of events in the world is absolutely impossible. Neither the religion of fear nor the social-moral religion can have any hold on him.”

“We are all life trying to live, among other life trying to live.”

“Past is deadFuture is uncertain;Present is all you have,So eat, drink and live merry.”

“There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.”

“The pursuit of truth and beauty is a sphere of activity in which we are permitted to remain children all our lives.”
