CHARLES DARWIN

It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change.

ALBERT EINSTEIN

It seems to me that the idea of a personal God is an anthropological concept which I cannot take seriously. I also cannot imagine some will or goal outside the human sphere. Science has been charged with undermining morality, but the charge is unjust. A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties and needs; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death. -- New York Times Magazine, 9 November 1930

THOMAS EDISON

I do not believe that any type of religion should ever be introduced into the public schools of the United States.
