The meaning of the world is the separation of wish and fact.
Find something more important than you are and dedicate your life to it.
The capacity to blunder slightly is the real marvel of DNA. Without that special attribute, we would still be anaerobic bacteria and there would be no music.
It is far better to grasp the universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.
If we are not able to ask skeptical questions, to interrogate those who tell us that something is true, to be skeptical of those in authority, then we're up for grabs for the next charlatan, political or religious, who comes ambling along.
Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.
Peter Atkins, for instance, writes, "A gross contamination of the reductionist ethics is the concept of purpose. Science has no need of purpose. All events of the molecular level that lies beneath all our actions, activities, and reflections are purposeless, and are accounted for by the collapse of energy and matter into ever-increasing disorder." Golshani asks in response, "Can one, on the basis of data obtained from chemistry or molecular biology at the level of molecules or atoms, claim that there is no telos to nature? The answer is no, because this conclusion is not drawn directly from science, rather it is rooted in the metaphysical prejudices of the scientist."
An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast; a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.
Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.
A theoretical understanding, acquired from learning, differs from a genuine understanding based on wisdom as the earth differs from the sky. People whose understanding is founded upon knowledge gained through memorization are very preoccupied with their own ideas, always assuming that they are highly intelligent. In truth, they are completely deluded. Consequently, they become overly conceited and are reluctant to accept help and advice from anyone. This arrogant tendency is quite apparent when a group of scholars discusses Dhamma, each one constantly trying to champion his own intellectual theories. These meetings usually degenerate into verbal sparring matches, spurred on by this common attitude of self-importance, until everyone – regardless of age, race, gender, or clan – forgets to observe the proper etiquette expected of such ‘civilized’ people.
Religion can never reform mankind because religion is slavery.
The Christian religion is a parody on the worship of the sun, in which they put a man called Christ in the place of the sun, and pay him the adoration originally payed to the sun.
