Freedom of thought is best promoted by the gradual illumination of men's minds which follows from the advance of science.

The grand aim of all science is to cover the greatest number of empirical facts by logical deduction from the smallest number of hypotheses or axioms.

If there is any religion that could respond to the needs of modern science, it would be Buddhism.

Most of the fundamental ideas of science are essentially simple, and may, as a rule, be expressed in a language comprehensible to everyone.

But science can only be created by those who are thoroughly imbued with the aspiration toward truth and understanding

It stands to the everlasting credit of science that by acting on the human mind it has overcome man's insecurity before himself and before nature.
