Answer 2

There are several I consider favorites as I cannot narrow it down to one in particular. My apologies in that regard. They are as follows:

"My Atheism, like that of Spinoza, gives true piety towards the Universe and denies only gods fashioned by men in their own image, to be servants of their human interests."

George Santayana

"Chronic remourse, as all the moralists are agreed, is a most undesirable sentiment. If you have behaved badly, repent, make what amends are necessary and commit yourself to the task of doing better next time. Rolling in the muck is not the best way of getting clean."

Aldous Huxley- An excerpt from his Forward to Brave New World.

"In certain trying circumstances, urgent circumstances, desperate circumstances, profanity furnishes a relief denied even to prayer."

Albert Bigelow Paine- Mark Twain: A Biography.

"There is no conceivable human action which custom has not at one time justified and at another condemned."

Joseph Wood Krutch.

And finally:

"Anyone who doesn't like what he says should not blame me for surfacing his opinions. I didn't say those things. The people I quote said them. And anything people, including myself, write is subject to scrutiny by those who read what they write."

Harold Lindsell- The Battle for the Bible.
