“If we take the world’s enduring religions at their best, we discover the distilled wisdom of the human race. ”
“We don't receive wisdom; we must discover it for ourselves after a journey that no one can take for us or spare us.”
“Nothing has been discovered, nothing has been invented. We can only know that we know nothing. And that's the highest degree of human wisdom.”
“Pit race against race, religion against religion, prejudice against prejudice. Divide and conquer! We must not let that happen here.”
“when we look up, it widens our horizons. we see what a little speck we are in the universe, so insignificant, and we all take ourselves so seriously, but in the sky, there are no boundaries. No differences of caste or religion or race.”
“We will discover nothing if we bind ourselves to accepted wisdoms. Questioning is necessary for discovery.”
