“In my view, all that is necessary for faith is the belief that by doing our best we shall succeed in our aims: the improvement of mankind.”

My method of thought and reasoning is influenced by a scientific training—if that were not so my scientific training will have been a waste and a failure.

In my view, all that is necessary for faith is the belief that by doing our best we shall succeed in our aims: the improvement of mankind.

Again, I see no reason why the belief that we are insignificant or fortuitous should lessen our faith.

I maintain that faith in this world is perfectly possible without faith in another world.

Science and everyday life cannot and should not be separated.

I see no reason to believe that a creator of protoplasm or primeval matter, if such there be, has any reason to be interested in our insignificant race in a tiny corner of the universe, and still less in us, as still more insignificant individuals.

I agree that faith is essential to success in life, but I do not accept your definition of faith, i.e. belief in life after death.

I would willingly go more primitive if it were necessary to preserve my freedom.

Your faith rests on the future of yourself and others as individuals, mine in the future and fate of our successors.

What’s the use of doing all this work if we don’t get some fun out of this?

Science, for me, gives a partial explanation for life. In so far as it goes, it is based on fact, experience and experiment.

Traveling around in a little tin box isolates one from the people and the atmosphere of the place in a way that I have never experienced before.

I think the only thing that I really thought about, I am always every year thinking about how I can get better, how my stuff can get better, how our team can improve.

Admit to and make yourself accountable for mistakes. How can you improve if you’re never wrong?

Are you better off than you were one year ago, one month ago, or one week ago? If not, things will not improve by themselves.

One characteristic of winners is they always look upon themselves as a do it yourself project.

No matter how old we become, we can acquire knowledge and use it. We can gather wisdom and profit from it. We can grow and progress and improve-and, in the process, strengthen the lives of those within our circle of influence.

Habits are the compound interest of self-improvement

I still look at myself and want to improve.

A touch less ego and dash more humility will improve the quality of anything you turn your hand to.
