Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan

Quotes

• “Man is a paradoxical being-the constant glory and scandal of this world.”

• “To be ignorant is not the special prerogative of man; to know that he is ignorant is his special privilege.”

• “We invent by intuition, though we prove by logic.”

• “We become more religious in proportion to our readiness to doubt and not our willingness to believe.”

• “We are grown-up infants, and God is a sort of ‘wet nurse’ to humanity.”
