The True Hero Is One Who Conquers

Life Is As Dear To A Mute Creature As It Is To Man. Just As One Wants Happiness And Fears Pain, Just As One Wants To Live And Not Die, So Do Other Creatures.

Religious Belief Is Not A Precondition Either Of Ethical Conduct Or Of Happiness.

To My Mind, There Are Two Things That, In Life, You Can Do About Death. Either You Can Choose To Ignore It, In Which Case You May Have Some Success In Making The Idea Of It Go Away For A Limited Period Of Time, Or You Can Confront The Prospect Of Your Own Death And Try To Analyze It And, In So Doing, Try To Minimize Some Of The Inevitable Suffering That It Causes. Neither Way Can You Actually Overcome It.

I Always Tell People That Religious Institutions And Political Institutions Should Be Separate. So While I'm Telling People This, I Myself Continue With Them Combined. Hypocrisy!

I Don't Know Whether The Universe, With Its Countless Galaxies, Stars And Planets, Has A Deeper Meaning Or Not, But At The Very Least, It Is Clear That We Humans Who Live On This Earth Face The Task Of Making A Happy Life For Ourselves. Therefore, It Is Important To Discover What Will Bring About The Greatest Degree Of Happiness.
