A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; 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.
The further the spiritual evolution of mankind advances, the more certain it seems to me that the path to genuine religiosity does not lie through the fear of life, and the fear of death, and blind faith, but through striving after rational knowledge.
God is subtle but he is not malicious.
Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind.
God does not care about our mathematical difficulties. He integrates empirically.
Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding.
People do not grow old no matter how long we live. We never cease to stand like curious children before the great Mystery into which we were born.
~Albert Einstein
