A society in which women are taught anything but the management of a family, the care of men and the creation of the future generation is a society which is on the way out.

I set out to try to help my fellow man and to do what little I could to make the world a better place.

The entire function of man is to survive. The outermost limit of endeavour is creative work. Anything less is too close to simple survival until death happens along. So I am engaged in striving to maintain equilibrium sufficient to at least realize survival in a way to astound the gods.

I know no man who has any monopoly upon the wisdom of this universe. It belongs to those who can use it to help themselves and others.

God was feeling sardonic the day He created the Universe. So it's rather up to at least one man every few centuries to pop up and come just as close to making him swallow his laughter as possible.

The wise man tests before he talks. The critic but follows the fad of a cynical and apathetic age.

In all the broad Universe there is no other hope for Man than ourselves.

Oh yes! The one man in the world who never believes he's mad is the madman.

Dianetics is not in any way covered by legislation anywhere, for no law can prevent one man sitting down and telling another man his troubles, and if anyone wants a monopoly on dianetics, be assured that he wants it for reasons which have to do not with dianetics but with profit.
