Let us embrace Science and the new technologies unfettered, for it is these which will liberate mankind from the myth of god, and free us from our age old fears, from disease, death and the sweat of labor.

Human beings will be happier - not when they cure cancer or get to Mars or eliminate racial prejudice or flush Lake Erie but when they find ways to inhabit primitive communities again. That's my utopia.

As long as people believe in absurdities they will continue to commit atrocities.

It is the flash which appears, the thunderbolt will follow.

One merit of poetry few persons will deny: it says more and in fewer words than prose.

Let us read and let us dance - two amusements that will never do any harm to the world.

Very often, say what you will, a knave is only a fool.

Do well and you will have no need for ancestors.

I do not want our children and grandchildren to live in a world where everyday they fear some regional strongman with weapons of mass destruction. We need to send a message to these future would-be bullies: you will not be allowed to threaten the world.

Liberating Iraq from a legacy of violence and putting it on the path to peace and prosperity will take time.

You can get digital technology that almost is film quality, and go make little films and do everything you can to find a little understanding of your own voice and it will grow - Don't take no for an answer - Take every opportunity you can to do something.

This is a perilous time, and more than ever, the world needs a united and strong America. If, God forbid, we live to see Mr. Obama president, we will live through a socialist era that America has not seen before, and our country will be weakened in every way.

We are witnessing a slow, steady takeover of our true freedoms. We are becoming a socialist nation, and whoever can't see this is probably hoping it isn't true. If we permit Mr. Obama to take over all our industries, if we permit him to raise our taxes to support unconstitutional causes, then we will be in default. This great America will become a paralyzed nation.

The will is not free - it is a phenomenon bound by cause and effect - but there is something behind the will which is free.
