If there is any religion that would cope with modern scientific needs it would be Buddhism. — Albert Einstein

Buddhist philosophy is interesting even from a secular point of view

Buddhist religious texts could teach the western world quite a bit, and Buddhism is one of the few religions that acknowledges its man-made origin.

"The most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is comprehensible."

"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."

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

"We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them."

"Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe."

"My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind."

"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 feelings 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. Nobody is able to achieve this completely, but the striving for such achievement is in itself a part of the liberation and a foundation for inner security."

Some of my favorites are from Feynman and Russel actually, although I really liked the one when Einstein said something like that he could not understand much from his theories anymore, after mathematicians went in and developed them further :P

Also,
'Sir, why did You take such pains to hide yourself?' - Russel, you can imagine the context :)
