I am not advocating a morality based on evolution.

Much as we might wish to believe otherwise, universal love and the welfare of the species as a whole are concepts which simply do not make evolutionary sense.

Do not indoctrinate your children. Teach them how to think for themselves, how to evaluate evidence, and how to disagree with you.

Faith is belief without evidence and reason; coincidentally that's also the definition of delusion.

Evolution is just a theory? Well, so is gravity and I don't see you jumping out of buildings.

Such delusions of grandeur to think that a God with a hundred billion galaxies on his mind would give a tuppenny damn who you sleep with, or indeed whether you believe in him.

The less you think, the more you believe.

How thoughtful of God to arrange matters so that, wherever you happen to be born, the local religion always turns out to be the true one.

If the Christian life seems boring, I suggest you may be DOING IT WRONG!

When we are still, all settles into place. We take time to see the beauty.We take time to see the heart.And we naturally gravitate to others that resonate that inner calm. When we are still.

True optimism is not the prospect of control over pain or elimination of it but survival through it.

On the fields of friendly strife are sown the seeds that on other days, on other fields will bear the fruits of victory.

In an underdeveloped country don't drink the water. In a developed country don't breathe the air.

The only sort of descriptive adjective or catch phrase for my music would be 'eclectic.'

Jobs are a priority for every country. Doing more to improve regulation and help entrepreneurs is the key to creating jobs - and more growth.

And like a passing thought, she fled In light away.

One key to learning and success is the willingness to try something new, and feel momentarily incompetent.

We keep secrets from ourselves that all along we know.
