Paul Kurtz Quotes

The government doesn’t have to solve everyone’s problem here Picture Quote #1
Humanists hold that ethical values are relative to human experience and need not be derived from theological or metaphysical foundations Picture Quote #1
We cannot remain silent when someone of the Pope’s stature and credibility confuses religious principles for science Picture Quote #1
Secular humanism is avowedly non-religious. It is a eupraxsophy (good practical wisdom), which draws its basic principles and ethical values from science, ethics, and philosophy Picture Quote #1
I believe that a person should take an affirmative outlook. There are always problems in life, old and new, uncertainties, and unexpected contingencies. The optimal way to deal with this is not to give up in despair, but to move ahead using the best intelligence and resources that we have to overcome adversity Picture Quote #1
A skeptic is one who is willing to question any truth claim, asking for clarity in definition, consistency in logic, and adequacy of evidence Picture Quote #1

Skepticism is essential to the quest for knowledge, for it is in the seedbed of puzzlement that genuine inquiry takes root. Without skepticism, we may remain mired in unexamined belief systems that are accepted as sacrosanct yet have no factual basis in reality Picture Quote #1
Humanists hold that ethical values are relative to human experience and need not be derived from theological or metaphysical foundations Picture Quote #1
No diety will save us; we must save ourselves Picture Quote #1
The beginning of wisdom is the awareness that there is insufficient evidence that a God or gods have created us and the recognition that we are responsible in part for our own destiny. Human beings can achieve this good life, but it is by the cultivation of the virtues of intelligence and courage, not faith and obedience, that we will most likely be able to do so Picture Quote #1
No one is infallible, and no one can claim a monopoly on truth or virtue. It would be contradictory for skepticism to seek to translate itself into a new faith Picture Quote #1
It is not the courage to be that we must develop as much as the courage to become. We are responsible for our destiny. The meaning of life is not located in some hidden crevice in the womb of nature but is created by free persons, who are aware that they are responsible for their own futures and have the courage to take this project into their own hands Picture Quote #1

Life, when fully lived under a variety of cultural conditions, can be euphoric and optimistic; it can be a joy to experience and a wonder to behold Picture Quote #1
Many humanists have argued that happiness involves a combination of hedonism and creative moral development; that an exuberant life fuses excellence and enjoyment, meaning and enrichment, emotion and cognition Picture Quote #1
The skeptic has no illusions about life, nor a vain belief in the promise of immortality. Since this life here and now is all we can know, our most reasonable option is to live it fully Picture Quote #1
