"When I first open my eyes upon the morning meadows and look out upon the beautiful world I thank God I am alive."

"Be thankful for the blessings already on their way. And don't be surprised if one of your blessings is to be the blessing for which someone else is thankful."

"How would you like a friend or loved one talking to you only when they needed something? That's kind of how most use prayer or meditation. Since there is ALWAYS something for which to be grateful, how about praying or meditating on that?"

"Never start your gratitude moment with an unthankful heart or out of necessity. Gratitude must be sincere."

"Take time daily to reflect on how much you have. It may not be all that you want but remember someone somewhere is dreaming of what you own."

"You say grace before meals. All right. But I say grace before the concert and the opera and grace before the play and pantomime and grace before I open a book and grace before sketching painting swimming fencing boxing walking playing dancing and grace before I dip the pen in the ink."

"Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don't even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child - our own two eyes. All is a miracle."

"There is an anaesthetic of familiarity, a sedative of ordinariness which dulls the senses and hides the wonder of existence. For those of us not gifted in poetry, it is at least worth while from time to time making an effort to shake off the anaesthetic. What is the best way of countering the sluggish habitutation brought about by our gradual crawl from babyhood? We can't actually fly to another planet. But we can recapture that sense of having just tumbled out to life on a new world by looking at our own world in unfamiliar ways."
Wonder
"One of the things that is wrong with religion is that it teaches us to be satisfied with answers which are not really answers at all."
Religion
“Evil doesn’t mean doing things that have bad consequences for people. It means private thoughts and actions that are not to ‘the Christian majority’s private liking.’”
Ethics
"Things exist either because they have recently come into existence or because they have qualities that made them unlikely to be destroyed in the past."
Life
"How any government could promote the Vardy academies in the North-East of England is absolutely beyond me. Tony Blair defends them on grounds of diversity, but it should be unthinkable in the 21st century to have a school whose head of science believes the world is less than 10,000 years old."
Education
"It is absolutely safe to say that if you meet somebody who claims not to believe in evolution, that person is ignorant, stupid or insane (or wicked, but I'd rather not consider that)."
Science
"Science - or the products of science like technology - is just a way of achieving something real, something that happens, something that works."
Science
"I think the written word is probably the best medium of communication because you have time to reflect, you have time to choose your words, to get your sentences exactly right. Whereas when you're being interviewed, say, you have to talk on the fly, you have to improvise, you can change sentences around, and they're not exactly right."
Communication
"But perhaps the rest of us could have separate classes in science appreciation, the wonder of science, scientific ways of thinking, and the history of scientific ideas, rather than laboratory experience."
Experience
"Evolution is not a genetically controlled distortion of one adult form into another, it is a genetically controlled alteration in a developmental program."
