"... reason accepts no commandments."	Ayn Rand
"...finally men were saved only through God's son dying for them, and that unless human beings believed this silly, impossible and wicked story they were doomed to hell? Can anyone with intelligence really believe that a child born today should be doomed because the snake tempted Eve and Eve tempted Adam? To believe that is not God-worship; it is devil-worship."	Clarence Darrow
"...if I were not an atheist, I would believe in a God who would choose to save people on the basis of the totality of their lives and not the pattern of their words. I think he would prefer an honest and righteous atheist to a TV preacher whose every word is God, God, God, and whose every deed is foul, foul, foul."	Isaac Asimov

"A good scare is worth more to a man than good advice."	Edgar Watson Howe
"A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death."	Albert Einstein
"Aim for success, not perfection. Never give up your right to be wrong, because then you will lose the ability to learn new things and move forward with your life. Remember that fear always lurks behind perfectionism. Confronting your fears and allowing yourself the right to be human can, paradoxically, make yourself a happier and more productive person."	Dr. David M. Burns
"All doubt, despair, and fear become insignificant once the intention of life becomes love, rather than dependence on love."	Sri da Avabhas
"All gods are homemade, and it is we who pull their strings, and so, give them the power to pull ours."	Aldous Huxley
"All men are frightened. The more intelligent they are the more they are frightened. The couragous man is the man who forces himself in spite of his fear to carry on."	George Patton
"All truth is simple... is that not doubly a lie?"	Friedrich Nietzsche
"Always do what you are afraid to do."	Ralph Waldo Emerson
"America: Where a man can say what he thinks, if he isn't afraid of his wife, his boss, his customer, his neighbors, or the government."	Joe Moore

But if ... the fundamental human drive is not the urge for pleasure or the satisfaction of biological needs, but the need to grow and to realize one's full potential, their comfortable, empty, purposeless days are indeed cause for a nameless terror."	Betty Naomi Friedan
"An act of terrorism totally outside the bounds of international law and diplomatic tradition. ... a crisis [that] calls for firmness and restraint."	James Earl "Jimmy" Carter, Jr.
