James Clerk Maxwell's [work is the] most profound and the most fruitful.

The Universe is stranger than we imagine!

I wish to do something Great and Wonderful, but I must start by doing the little things like they were Great and Wonderful

The desire for guidance, love, and support prompts men to form the social or moral conception of God. This is the God of Providence, who protects, disposes, rewards, and punishes; the God who, according to the limits of the believer's outlook, loves and cherishes the life of the tribe or of the human race, or even of life itself; the comforter in sorrow and unsatisfied longing; he who preserves the souls of the dead. This is the social or moral conception of God.

We should take care not to make the intellect our god; it has, of course, powerful muscles, but no personality.

Nothing that I can do or say will change the structure of the universe. But maybe, by raising my voice, I can help the greatest of all causes — good will among men and peace on earth.

That deep emotional conviction of the presence of a superior reasoning power, which is revealed in the incomprehensible universe, forms my idea of God.
