"Since I do not foresee that atomic energy is to be a great boon for a long time, I have to say that for the present it is a menace. Perhaps it is well that it should be. It may intimidate the human race into bringing order into its international affairs, which, without the pressure of fear, it would not do."
Albert Einstein
"Of what significance is one's one existence, one is basically unaware. What does a fish know about the water in which he swims all his life? The bitter and the sweet come from outside. The hard from within, from one's own efforts. For the most part I do what my own nature drives me to do. It is embarrassing to earn such respect and love for it."
Albert Einstein
"We cannot dispair of humanity, since we are ourselves human beings."
Albert Einstein
"No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right; a single experiment can prove me wrong."
Albert Einstein
"Since that deluge of newspaper articles I have been so flooded with questions, invitations, suggestions, that I keep dreaming I am roasting in Hell, and the mailman is the devil eternally yelling at me, showering me with more bundles of letters at my head because I have not answered the old ones."
Albert Einstein
"Some years ago I became president of Columbia University and learned within 24 hours to be ready to speak at the drop of a hat, and I learned something more, the trustees were expected to be ready to speak at the passing of the hat."
Dwight David Eisenhower
"The angels are so enamoured of the language that is spoken in heaven, that they will not distort their lips with the hissing and unmusical dialects of men, but speak their own, whether there be any who understand it or not."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Every man alone is sincere. At the entrance of a second person, hypocrisy begins."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
"A friend is a person with whom I may be sincere. Before him I may think aloud."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
"It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
"It is one of the beautiful compensations of life that no man can sincerely try to help another without helping himself."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
"It is one of the most beautiful compensations of this life that no man can sincerely try to help another without helping himself."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Universities are of course hostile to geniuses, which, seeing and using ways of their own, discredit the routine: as churches and monasteries persecute youthful saints."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Whatever you do, you need courage. Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising which tempt you to believe that your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to the end, requires some of the same courage which a soldier needs."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
"In a philosophical dispute, he gains most who is defeated, since he learns most."
Epicurus
"I have now reigned about 50 years in victory or peace, beloved by my subjects, dreaded by my enemies, and respected by my allies. Riches and honors, power and pleasure, have waited on my call, nor does any earthly blessing appear to have been wanting to my felicity. In this situation, I have diligently numbered the days of pure and genuine happiness which have fallen to my lot. They amount to fourteen."
Abd Er-Rahman III
"Every man ... should periodically be compelled to listen to opinions which are infuriating to him. To hear nothing but what is pleasing to one is to make a pillow of the mind."
John Ervine
"The gods visit the sins of the fathers upon the children."
Euripides
"Failing doesn't make you a failure. Giving up, accepting your failure, refusing to try again does!"
Richard Exely
"I think we must quote whenever we feel that the allusion is interesting or helpful or amusing."
