If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed.
People will not disarm step by step; they will disarm at one blow or not at all.
Overpopulation in various countries has become a serious threat to the health of people and a grave obstacle to any attempt to organise peace on this planet
I am not a positivist. Positivism states that what cannot be observed does not exist. This conception is scientifically indefensible, for it is impossible to make valid affirmations of what people 'can' or 'cannot' observe.

There exists a passion for comprehension, just as there exists a passion for music. That passion is rather common in children, but gets lost in most people later on. Without this passion there would be neither mathematics nor natural science.
People like you and I, though mortal of course like everyone else, do not grow old no matter how long we live.

Scientific research can reduce superstition by encouraging people to think and view things in terms of cause and effect.
If people would only talk about what they understood, Earth would be a very quiet place.
