I believe in the religion of Science – that is to say, in wisdom glorified by love.

Love, Religion, Science, Superstition

Science, the Savior of our race – the religion that conquers prejudice and hatred, that drives all superstition from the mind, that ennobles, lengthens and enriches life, that drives from every home the wolves of want, from every heart the fiends of selfishness and fear, and from every brain the monsters of the night.

We each should strive not for a victory over others, but for the discovery of truth.

Intelligence, Love, Truth

Truth, when found, should be welcomed by every human soul.

Truth has no fear of investigation – of being understood.

Truth loves the day – its enemies are ignorance, prejudice, egotism, bigotry, hypocrisy, fear and darkness; intelligence, candor, honesty, love and light are its eternal friends.

– RGI

Let us believe that pure thoughts, brave words and generous deeds can never die.

Let us believe that they bear fruit and add forever to the well-being of the human race. Let us believe that a noble, self-denying life increases the moral wealth of man, and gives assurance that the future will be grander than the past.
