"Imagination is the highest form of research."

"Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding."

"Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile."

"Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind."

"Wisdom is not a product of schooling but of the lifelong attempt to acquire it."
