It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change, that lives within the means available and works co-operatively against common threats.
The most important factor in survival is neither intelligence nor strength but adaptability.
The world will not be inherited by the strongest, it will be inherited by those most able to change.
The love for all living creatures is the most noble attribute of man.
Nothing exists for itself alone, but only in relation to other forms of life

Some call it evolution, And others call it God.
A man who dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life.
The more one thinks, the more one feels the hopeless immensity of man's ignorance.

Even people who aren’t geniuses can outthink the rest of mankind if they develop certain thinking habits.
It is impossible to concieve of this immense and wonderful universe as the result of blind chance or necessity.
