We prefer deep reflections on Philosophy, Shakespearean Sonnets, and tender musings along the lines of:

A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeeded be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death. --Albert Einstein

I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones. --Albert Einstein

William Einstein Shakespeare :)

Beauty is unbearable, drives us to despair, offering us for a minute the glimpse of an eternity that we should like to stretch out over the whole of time. -Albert Camus
