Knowledge
The Search for the truth and Knowledge is one of the finest attributes of a man, though often it is most loudly voiced by those who strive for it the least.
Authority
To punish me for my contempt of authority, fate has made me an authority myself.
Truth: It is difficult to say what truth is, but sometimes it is easy to recognize a falsehood.
Cooperation
A hundred times a day I remind myself that my inner and outer lives are based on the labors of other people, living and dead and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received and am still receiving.
Wisdom
Wisdom is not a product of schooling, but of the lifelong attempt to acquire it.
Greatness
There is only one road to human greatness: through the school of hard knocks.
Happiness
A happy man is too satisfied with the present to dwell too much on the future.
Fame
With fame I become more and more stupid, which of course is a very common phenomenon.
Life
Life is sacred, that is to say, it is the supreme value, to which all other values are subordinate.
Ageing
I have reached an age when, if someone tells me to wear socks, I don't have to.
Praise
The only way to escape the personal corruption of praise is to go on working.
Problems
Fear or stupidity has always been the basis of most human actions.
Relativity
An hour sitting with a pretty girl on a park bench passes like a minute, but a minute sitting on a hot stove seems like an hour.
Goals
One should not pursue goals that are easily achieved. One must develop an instinct for what one can barely achieve through one's greatest efforts.
Racism
The only remedies against race and prejudice are enlightenment and education. This is a slow and painstaking process.
Solitude
I lived in that solitude which is painful in youth, but delicious in the years of maturity.
Value
Try not to become a man of success but rather try to become a man of value.
Imagination
When I examine myself and my methods of thought, I come close to the conclusion that the gift of imagination has meant more to me than my talent for absorbing absolute knowledge
