Good Scientist: When Science and Service Combine Quotes

“Once upon a time there was a wealthy king. He had a huge garden and he employed two gardeners to take care of it. One of them was absolutely useless - he would lazily spend all his time without doing a single work around the garden, but whenever his master visited, he would simply usher him with praise. The other gardener was a humble fellow and rather a quiet one. He didn't talk much, but he worked the whole day taking care of the garden and grew all sorts of beautiful flowers and fruits. Now who do you think would be most beloved to the king! Many people call this king God, I call it nature. And one who takes care of the children of the king is more beloved to the king than the one who does nothing but talks highly of the king.”

“The only way you can see someone turn water into wine without resorting to trickery is if you are already drunk. That’s not the kind of miracle that the world needs - what the world needs is the miracle of kindness - it needs the miracle of acceptance - it needs the miracle of unity in diversity.”

“Whether Jesus turning water into wine - whether Mecca moving around following the feet of Nanak - whether Krishna lifting a mountain on his finger - it's all fiction - which were written not to inform the public but to make them accept a certain figure as the authority of their lives.”
