OK...I sooo stole these from someone else, but they are great.
I don't think it gets wiser than this....
Aphorisms by (Albert Einstein:
"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed."
"Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love."
"Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind."
"There are two ways to live your life - one is as though nothing is a miracle, the other is as though everything is a miracle."
"Science is a wonderful thing if one does not have to earn one's living at it."
"Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding."
"The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing."
"If A is a success in life, then A equals x plus y plus z. Work is x; y is play; and z is keeping your mouth shut."
"Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe."
"Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods."
"The aim (of education) must be the training of independently acting and thinking individuals who, however, can see in the service to the community their highest life achievement."
"Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile."
