“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
“The peace loving non-religious man has good cause to worry. It's been my experience that the humblest citizen in all the land, when clad in the armor of a righteous cause, is stronger than all the King's men. Pro-life hypocrites with a Bible in one hand and a gun in the other will kill you.”
Bobby W. Miller
“It is a man's sympathy with all creatures that first makes him truly a man.”
Albert Schweitzer
“What I have absolutely no sympathy with is the legislator, the man who seeks, for his own profit, to exploit the weaknesses of those who are unable to help themselves and then to fasten some moral superscription upon it. This I loathe so much that I cannot conceivably explain how much it is.”
Malcolm Lowry
“I care not for a man's religion whose dog and cat are not the better for it”
Abraham Lincoln
“Sympathy for the untimely and tragic death of a four-month-old infant or sympathy toward an elderly man charged with these offenses have no place in this court's consideration of the evidence and the determination of guilt or innocence of the accused,”
Patrick Riley
“When a man has pity on all living creatures then only is he noble.”
Buddha
