Famous Quotes

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and
expecting a different result.

  Albert Einstein

If at first the idea is not absurd, then there is
no hope for it.

  Albert Einstein

The intellect has little to do on the road to discovery. There comes a leap in
consciousness, call it intuition or what you will, and the solution comes to
you, and you don't know how or why.

  Albert Einstein

“Weeds are flowers, too, once you get to know them.”    
      A.A. Milne


Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
  Ralph Waldo Emerson

Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocre minds. The latter
cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary
prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his
intelligence.

Albert Einstein

“There are only two ways to live your life.
One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.”

― Albert Einstein

In order to be an immaculate member of a flock
of sheep, one must above all be a sheep oneself.

  Albert Einstein


It is one of the most beautiful compensations of
life, that no man can sincerely try to help another without helping himself.

  Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Piglet noticed that even though he had a very small heart, it could hold a
rather large amount of Gratitude.”    

    A.A. Milne

Do the thing you fear and the death of fear is certain.
  Ralph Waldo Emerson

The dark night of the soul comes just before revelation.
 
Joseph Campbell


When everything is lost, and all seems darkness, then comes the new life and all
that is needed.

  Joseph Campbell

“When you do the things that you can do, you will find a way.”    
      A.A. Milne

The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher regard those
who think alike than those who think differently.

  Friedrich Nietzsche

The ultimate dragon is within you.
 Joseph Campbell


If you follow your bliss, doors will open for you that wouldn't have opened for
anyone else.

  Joseph Campbell
 
"One love, one heart, one destiny."
 ~Bob Marley



"To laugh is to risk appearing the fool. To weep is to risk appearing
sentimental. To reach for another is to risk involvement. To expose your
feelings is to risk exposing your true self. To place your ideas, your dreams
before a crowd is to risk their loss. To love is to risk not being loved in
return. To live is to risk dying. To believe is to risk despair. To try is to
risk failure. But risks must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to
risk nothing. The person who risks nothing does nothing, has nothing, is
nothing. They may avoid suffering and sorrow, but they cannot learn, feel,
change, grow, love, live. Chained by their attitudes they are slaves; they have
forfeited their freedom. Only a person who risks is free.” –

Ward, William A




All truths are easy to understand once they
are discovered; the point is to discover them. 

 Galileo

 There are only two mistakes one can make along
the road to truth: not going all the way, and not starting. 

Buddha

 The truth is incontrovertible; malice may
attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is.
-
Winston Churchill

 In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. 
George Orwell

 Truth is by nature self-evident. As soon as
you remove the cobwebs of ignorance that surround it, it shines clear. 

Mohandas Gandhi

 The great enemy of the truth is very often not
the lie, deliberate, contrived and dishonest, but the myth, persistent,
persuasive and unrealistic. 

John F. Kennedy

 Falsehood is easy, truth so difficult.
   George Elliot

 You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free. 
Jesus Christ

 When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains,
however improbable, must be the truth. 

Arthur Conan Doyle

 It takes two to speak truth -- one to speak and another to hear. 
Henry David Thoreau

A man's ethical behavior should be based
effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is
necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death. 
Albert Einstein

Don't cry because it
is over, smile because it happened.
Dr. Seuss
