I see the triumph of good over evil as a manifestation of the error-correcting process of evolution.

I speak about universal evolution and teleological evolution, because I think the process of evolution reflects the wisdom of nature. I see the need for wisdom to become operative. We need to try to put all of these things together in what I call an evolutionary philosophy of our time.

I have the impression that the new generation of young people, are coming up on the scene with a sense "ancestorhood", and with more wisdom than was evident before.

Life is an error-making and an error-correcting process.

Nothing happens quite by chance. It's a question of accretion of information and experience.

Reply when questioned on the safety of the polio vaccine he developed: It is safe, and you can't get safer than safe.
