We must learn to value the acquisition of knowledge,

for its own sake,

and not just because it grows our economy

or allows us to build better bombs.

We must also learn to value the human race

and take responsibility for our own survival;

because there's nobody else out there to value us

or to look after us.

And finally, most important of all,

we must educate the next generation

in the great discoveries of science

and we must teach them to use the light of reason

to banish the darkness of superstition.
