Albert Einstein

Never do anything against conscience even if the state demands it.

It’s not that I’m so smart, it’s just that I stay with problems longer.

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

If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough.

What I greatly hope for these children everywhere, is a new attitude toward life–free from the gullibility which thinks we can get something for nothing; free from the greed which thinks any permanent good can come of overreaching others; and, above all, expectant of change, so that when life gives them a jolt they will be fully prepared to push on eagerly along new lines.

Don’t go through life, GROW through life.

Many unkind people have done kind things. Doing acts of kindness is not the same as occupying kindness, of being kindness.

If you believe you deserve better, you will create better for yourself.
