Those who say that life is worth living at any cost have already written an epitaph of infamy, for there is no cause and no person that they will not betray to stay alive.

Philosophy, most broadly viewed, is the critical survey of existence from the standpoint of value.

To deny me the right to err is therefore to deny me the right to believe.

The easiest rationalization for the refusal to seek the truth is the denial that truth exists.

The difference between science and religion is that the former wishes to get rid of mysteries whereas the latter worships them.

Nonetheless, it still remains true that as a set of cognitive beliefs, religious doctrines constitute a speculative hypothesis of an extremely low order of probability.

Students rarely disappoint teachers who assure them in advance that they are doomed to failure.
