Mathematics deals exclusively with the relations of concepts to each other without consideration of their relation to experience.

Education is only a ladder to gather fruit from the tree of knowledge, not the fruit itself

Science will stagnate if it is made to serve practical goals.

Through the release of atomic energy, our generation has brought into the world the most revolutionary force since prehistoric man's discovery of fire. This basic force of the universe cannot be fitted into the outmoded concept of narrow nationalisms.

Modern education is competitive, nationalistic and separative. It has trained the child to regard material values as of major importance, to believe that his nation is also of major importance and superior to other nations and peoples. The general level of world information is high but usually biased, influenced by national prejudices, serving to make us citizens of our nation but not of the world.

It is best, it seems to me, to separate one's inner striving from one's trade as far as possible. It is not good when one's daily break is tied to God's special blessing.

The process of scientific discovery is, in effect, a continual flight from wonder.
