"It is tradition, the accumulation of experience, the ashes of memory, that make the mind
old. The mind that dies every day to the memories of yesterday, to all the joys and sorrows

"The men who dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima said that God was with them; those who flew from
England to destroy Germany said that God was their co-pilot. The dictators, the prime ministers,
the generals, the presidents, all talk of God, they have immense faith in God. Are they doing
service, making a better life for man? The people who say they believe in God have destroyed half
the world and the world is in complete misery."

"God is an idea depending on the climate, the enviroment, and the tradition in which you have been brought up."
