When man learns to understand and control his own behavior as well as he is learning to understand and control the behavior of crop plants and domestic animals, he may be justified in believing that he has become civilized.

Man's unique reward, however, is that while animals survive by adjusting themselves to their background, man survives by adjusting his background to himself.

A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others.

When I die, I hope to go to Heaven, whatever the Hell that is.

There are two sides to every issue: one side is right and the other is wrong, but the middle is always evil.

The purpose of morality is to teach you, not to suffer and die, but to enjoy yourself and live.

People create their own questions because they are afraid to look straight. All you have to do is look straight and see the road, and when you see it, don't sit looking at it - walk.

Happiness is that state of consciousness which proceeds from the achievement of one's values.

Contradictions do not exist. Whenever you think you are facing a contradiction, check your premises. You will find that one of them is wrong.

Achievement of your happiness is the only moral purpose of your life, and that happiness, not pain or mindless self-indulgence, is the proof of your moral integrity, since it is the proof and the result of your loyalty to the achievement of your values.
