Albert Einstein

The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education.

How I wish that somewhere there existed an island for those who are wise and of good will.

You never fail until you stop trying.

Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.

Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted.

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

I was brought up to be a gentleman. That means you know how to walk, talk and dress the part.

Opinions are like asses, every body’s got one!

The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails.

Life is full of surprises, some good, some not so good.

People living deeply have no fear of death.

If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got.

I am not prejudiced in any way.

A goal is a dream with a finish line.

We are what and where we are because we have first imagined it.

Most conversations are simply monologues delivered in the presence of witnesses.

You’re braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.

I’m constantly reemerging in my life.

I never hurt nobody but myself and that’s nobody’s business but my own.

I’m going to go down and take care of the bill. I’m not going to embarrass you, just let me do it. I had such a great time, I just want it to be my treat. [On returning after several minutes red faced] They won’t take my check, I don’t know what we’re going to do. [Robertson said ‘David, what we’ve spent here, we’re going to have to do a lot of dishes.’] I’m going to call Prince Rupert [Loewenstein] and ask him to call the hotel and tell them I’m good for it. Or maybe he can pay the bill and then I’ll pay him back or something. [Prince Rupert vouched for his credit and the hotel agreed to accept Geffen’s check.]

A man must live like a great brilliant flame and burn as brightly as he can. In the end he burns out. But this is far better than a mean little flame.
