Most men's anger about religion is as if two men should quarrel for a lady they neither of them care for.

Summary

This quote suggests that many men's anger towards religion is irrational and baseless. It compares their quarrel over religion to a situation where two men argue over a woman they have no real interest in. In this analogy, the lady represents religion, implying that men's anger towards it is fueled by superficial factors rather than genuine concern or conviction. Ultimately, the quote implies that some people engage in unnecessary conflicts about religion without truly understanding its significance or having a personal connection to it.

A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe,

A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.

Albert Einstein

The first panacea for a misguided nation is inflation of the currency; the second is war. Both bring a temporary prosperity; both bring a permanent ruin. But both are the refuge of political and economic opportunists.
