“Any fool can know, the important thing is to understand.”
“Those who see the truth but do not change their minds live as if they were happy in their ignorance.”
“It is easy to be a man who believes in God, the difficulty is to be a man God will believe in.”
“In fact, everyone is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will spend its whole life believing that it is stupid.”
“It is not the skeleton and musculature that sustain a man, but his principles and beliefs.”
“Life is like riding a bicycle. You have to keep pedaling to maintain balance.”
“Everything is energy and everything is just that. Once you are attuned to the frequency of the reality you want to have, there is nothing more to do, that reality becomes yours. There is no other way than that. This is not philosophy. This is physics.”
“Man cannot achieve anything unless he pushes the limits of the mind.”
“If you want to be happy, be attached to a purpose, not to people or things.”
“Don't be fooled by those who say you are bad. They called me an idiot; I split the atom and gave it to them.”
“An evening when everyone agrees is a lost evening.”
“He who realizes that he cannot think without the opinions of others has made great progress.”
“Extraordinary, great men always meet with fierce opposition from ordinary minds.”
“Just because a person is silent does not mean that he approves of what is being said. Sometimes he doesn't feel like arguing with fools.”
“A person's moral behavior must be based on understanding, education and social ties; no religious foundation is necessary. If man must be controlled by the fear of punishment and the hope of reward after death, he is surely on a bad path.”
“Look carefully at nature and you will understand everything better.”
“Destroying prejudices is more difficult than splitting the nucleus of an atom.”
“Reality, though very insistent, is only an illusion.”
“The world is a dangerous place not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look and do nothing.”
“Imagination is everything. It is a preview of what life will bring you.”
“Man is a part of the whole. But he experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, separately from others. This is an optical illusion created by his consciousness.”
“Logic takes you from point a to point b. Imagination takes you everywhere.”
“It is better to have imagination than knowledge.”
“There are only two ways to live your life. One is as if nothing is a miracle. The other is as if everything is a miracle.”
“Education is not the teaching of facts. It is the training of the mind to think.”
“Perseverance is priceless. I became successful not because I was very smart, but because I didn't stop dealing with problems.”
“Time is not what it seems. It does not flow in only one direction, and the past and the future happen at the same time.”
“Human beings would be much more careful if they knew that the words that come out of their mouths and the thoughts that come out of their brains travel through the entire universe and return back to them.”
“Everyone has his own genius, but if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will spend its life believing that it is stupid.”
“Wisdom is not the product of a school education, but of a lifelong effort to acquire it.”
“Ignorant people tend to think themselves perfect; intelligent people tend to underestimate their abilities.”
“Try to be a valuable person, not just a successful person.”
“There are only two ways to live your life. One, as if nothing is a miracle. The other is as if everything is a miracle.”
“You cannot solve the problem with those who create it. Get away from them first.”
