“Human potentialities constitute the world's greatest resource, but at the moment only a tiny fraction of them is being realized.”

Julian Huxley (1887–1975) English biologist, philosopher, author

The New Divinity (1964)
Context: Human potentialities constitute the world's greatest resource, but at the moment only a tiny fraction of them is being realized. The possibility of tapping and directing these vast resources of human possibility provide the religion of the future with a powerful long-term motive. An equally powerful short-term motive is to ensure the fullest possible development and flowering of individual personalities. In developing a full, deep and rich personality the individual ceases to be a mere cog or cipher, and makes his own particular contribution to evolutionary fulfilment.

“I could not think that GOD was poor, that He was short of resources, or unwilling to supply any want of whatever work was really His.
