We cannot get to where we dream of being tomorrow unless we change our thinking today.

A model should be as simple as it can be but no simpler

If the moon, in the act of completing its eternal way around the earth, were gifted with self-consciousness, it would feel thoroughly convinced that it was traveling its way of its own accord on the strength of a resolution taken once and for all. So would a Being, endowed with higher insight and more perfect intelligence, watching man and his doings, smile about man's illusion that he was acting according to his own free will.

Selection [of UN delegates] by governments cannot give the peoples of the world the feeling of being fairly and proportionately represented. The moral authority of the UN would be considerable enhanced if the delegates were elected directly by the people. Were they responsible to an electorate, they would have much more freedom to follow their consciences.

I see in Nature a magnificent structure... that must fill a thinking person with a feeling of humility.

Strange is our situation here upon earth.

God casts the die, not the dice.
