Albert Einstein Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.

We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.

Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.
If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough The only real valuable thing is intuition. Few are those who see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts. "Make things as simple as possible but no simpler." Once we accept our limits, we go beyond them. Never do anything against conscience, even if the state demands it You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else. Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking If the facts don't fit the theory, change the facts. If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or things. In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity. If A equals success, then the formula is A equals X plus Y and Z, with X being work, Y play, and Z keeping your mouth shut.

Imagination is more important than knowledge. The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination. Information is not knowledge. You can't blame gravity for falling in love. Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Women marry men hoping they will change. Men marry women hoping they will not. So each is inevitably disappointed. Love is a better teacher than duty. Example isn't another way to teach, it is the only way to teach Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character. The most important human endeavor is the striving for morality in our actions. Our inner balance and even our very existence depend on it. Only morality in our actions can give beauty and dignity to life. Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving Thomas Alva Edison To invent, you need a good imagination and a pile of junk. Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration. I haven't failed, I've found 10,000 ways that don't work

Good fortune is what happens when opportunity meets with planning. The three great essentials to achieve anything worthwhile are, first, hard work; second, stick-to-itiveness; third, common sense. I never failed once. It just happened to be a 2000-step process. I never did a day's work in my life. It was all fun. Restlessness is discontent and discontent is the first necessity of progress. Show me a thoroughly satisfied man and I will show you a failure.

Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.
Being busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work is production or accomplishment and to either of these ends there must be forethought, system, planning, intelligence, and honest purpose, as well as perspiration. Seeming to do is not doing. There's a way to do it better - find it. I never did anything worth doing by accident; nor did any of my inventions come by accident; they came by work Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up. There is no substitute for hard work. I shall make electricity so cheap that only the rich can afford to burn candles

The first requisite for success is the ability to apply your physical and mental energies to one problem incessantly without growing weary. We now know a thousand ways not to build a light bulb Be courageous! Have faith! Go Forward! Discontent is the first necessity of progress. The value of an idea lies in the using of it. The perils of overwork are slight compared with the dangers of inactivity Maturity is often more absurd than youth and very frequently is most unjust to youth The chief function of the body is to carry the brain around Anything that won't sell, I don't want to invent

Warren Buffett It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you'll do things differently.

Risk comes from not knowing what you're doing. Wide diversification is only required when investors do not understand what they are doing. Only when the tide goes out do you discover who's been swimming naked If a business does well, the stock eventually follows. The investor of today does not profit from yesterday's growth.

I always knew I was going to be rich. I don't think I ever doubted it for a minute.
Two rules: 1. Preserve the principal 2. When in doubt see Rule #1 A public-opinion poll is no substitute for thought. Rule No.1: Never lose money. Rule No.2: Never forget rule No.1. When a management team with a reputation for brilliance tackles a business with a reputation for bad economics, it is the reputation of the business that remains intact. It's better to hang out with people better than you, ... Pick out associates whose behavior is better than yours and you'll drift in that direction. Your premium brand had better be delivering something special, or it's not going to get the business. I have no idea on timing. It's far easier to tell what will happen than when it will happen.

Only when you combine sound intellect with emotional discipline, you get rational behavior.

Bill Gates Smart is an elusive concept. There's a certain sharpness, an ability to absorb new facts. To ask an insightful question. To relate to domains that may not seem connected at first. A certain that creativity allows people to be effective. As we look ahead into the next century, leaders will be those who empower others. If you can't make it good, at least make it look good. Your most unhappy customers are your greatest source of learning. Great organizations demand a high level of commitment by the people involved. I really had a lot of dreams when I was a kid, and I think a great deal of that grew out of the fact that I had a chance to read a lot. Often you have to rely on intuition.

Bruce Lee

I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times. As you think, so shall you become. Simplicity is the key to brilliance Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not you go out and look for a successful personality an duplicate it. Take things as they are. Punch when you have to punch. Kick when you have to kick. If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you'll never get it done. Mistakes are always forgivable, if one has the courage to admit them. The possession of anything begins in the mind

A quick temper will make a fool of you soon enough.

Knowledge will give you power, but character respect.

"It's not what you give, it's the way you give it." If you think a thing is impossible, you'll make it impossible. Knowing is not enough, you must apply; willing is not enough, you must do. Napoleon Bonaparte

Take time to deliberate, but when the time for action has arrived, stop thinking and go in.

The word impossible is not in my dictionary.

Women are nothing but machines for producing children. I must see her and press her to my heart. I love her to the point of madness, and I cannot continue to be separated from her. If she no longer loved me, I would have nothing left to do on earth. He who fears being conquered is sure of defeat. If you start to take Vienna - take Vienna Nothing is more difficult, and therefore more precious, than to be able to decide.

Imagination rules the world.

Soldiers generally win battles; generals get credit for them The truest wisdom is a resolute determination Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake. It requires more courage to suffer than to die. There is no such thing as accident; it is fate misnamed

Throw off your worries when you throw off your clothes at night.
To do all that one is able to do, is to be a man; to do all that one would like to do, is to be a god.

If you want a thing done well, do it yourself. The best cure for the body is a quiet mind. Music is the Voice that tells us that the human race is greater than it knows There is one kind of robber whom the law does not strike at, and who steals what is most precious to men: time. No one knows how it is that with one glance a boy can break through into a girl's heart. The best way to keep one's word is not to give it. A picture is worth a thousand words. History is a set of lies agreed upon. We often get in quicker by the back door than by the front Ten people who speak make more noise than ten thousand who are silent. Impossible is a word to be found only in the dictionary of fools. The greatest general is he who makes the fewest mistakes. Four hostile newspapers are more to be feared than a thousand bayonets. Victory belongs to the most persevering. I made all my generals out of mud.

The battlefield is a scene of constant chaos. The winner will be the one who controls that chaos, both his own and the enemies. An order that can be misunderstood will be misunderstood. In revolution there are only two sorts of men, those who cause them and those who profit by them A true man hates no one. I love power. But it is as an artist that I love it. I love it as a musician loves his violin, to draw out its sounds and chords and harmonies. The most dangerous moment comes with victory. The future destiny of a child is always the work of the mother. Secrets travel fast in Paris. All celebrated people lose dignity on a close view Music, of all the liberal arts, has the greatest influence over the passions, and it is that to which the legislator ought to give the greatest encouragement
