“Give to every other human being every right that you claim for yourself
– that is my doctrine”

Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason

"Science enhances the moral value of life,

because it furthers a love of truth and reverence

- love of truth displaying itself in the constant endeavor

to arrive at a more exact knowledge of the world of mind and matter

around us, and reverence, because every advance in knowledge

brings us face to face with the mystery of our own being."

~Max Planck, physicist (1858-1947)
