Inspiration Quote by Carl Sagan — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Christianity may be good and Satanism evil. Under the Constitution, however, both are neutral. This is an important, but difficult, concept for many law enforcement officers to accept. They are paid to uphold the penal code, not the Ten Commandments … The fact is that far more crime and child abuse has been committed by zealots in the name of God, Jesus and Mohammed than has ever been committed in the name of Satan. Many people don’t like that statement, but few can argue with it.”

“[...] I try not to think with my gut. If I'm serious about understanding the world, thinking with anything besides my brain, as tempting as that might be, is likely to get me into trouble. Really, it's okay to reserve judgement until the evidence is in.”

“Science is not only compatible with spirituality; it is a profound source of spirituality.”

“The idea that God is an oversized white male with a flowing beard, who sits in the sky and tallies the fall of every sparrow is ludicrous. But if by 'God,' one means the set of physical laws that govern the universe, then clearly there is such a God. This God is emotionally unsatisfying... it does not make much sense to pray to the law of gravity.”

“I think the discomfort that some people feel in going to the monkey cages at the zoo is a warning sign.”

“To follow, without halt, one aim: There is the secret of success.”

“Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.”

“We must learn our limits. We are all something, but none of us are everything.”

“The doors we open and close each day decide the lives we live.”

“If one advances confidently in the direction of his dream, and endeavours to live the life which he had imagines, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.”

“Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.”
