When you look at yourself from a universal standpoint, something inside always reminds or informs you that there are bigger and better things to worry about.

I believe that we don't need to worry about what happens after this life, as long as we do our duty here-to love and to serve.

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.

My only refuge, as a serious young man, from the despair of my financial burden to my family, is that I did everything I could to never permit myself any amusements or diversions except those afforded by my studies.

A conviction akin to religious feeling of the rationality or intelligibility of the world lies behind all scientific work of a high order.

My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind.

We are slowed down sound and light waves, a walking bundle of frequencies tuned into the cosmos. We are souls dressed up in sacred biochemical garments and our bodies are the instruments through which our souls play their music.
