Quotes

You would only see a fool in two states; doing too much, or too little, in whatever he is doing. - Imam Ali
Treat others as you would like to be treated. - The Golden Rule
Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one. - Einstein
Great spirits have always encountered opposition from mediocre minds. The mediocre mind is incapable of understanding the man who refuses to bow blindly to conventional prejudices and chooses instead to express his opinions courageously and honestly. - Einstein
Either you repeat the same conventional doctrines everybody is saying, or else you say something true, and it will sound like it's from Neptune. - Chomsky
The further the spiritual evolution of mankind advances, the more certain it seems to me that the path to genuine religiosity does not lie through the fear of life, and the fear of death, and blind faith, but through striving after rational knowledge. - Einstein
Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school. - Einstein
One should guard against preaching to young people success in the customary form as the main aim in life. The most important motive for work in school and in life is pleasure in work, pleasure in its result, and the knowledge of the value of the result to the community. - Einstein
Education must provide the opportunities for self-fulfillment; it can at best provide a rich and challenging environment for the individual to explore, in his own way. - Chomsky
Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without loosing your temper or your self confidence. - Robert Frost
As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain, as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality. - Einstein
Everything that can be counted does not necessarily count; everything that counts cannot necessarily be counted. - Einstein
Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you wan to test a man's character, give him power. - Abraham Lincoln
Earth provides enough to satisfy every man’s need, but not every man’s greed. - Mahatma Gandhi
Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.- Mahatma Gandhi
Don't judge those who try and fail. Judge only those who fail to try. - ?
The best way to learn is through an example. - ?
It’s not who said that, it’s what was said. - ?
Keep it simple, stupid. - ?
Shoot for the moon and if you miss you will still be among the stars. -Les Brown
The mediocre teacher tells; the good teacher explains; the superior teacher demonstrates; the great teacher inspires. - William Arthur Ward
If we don't believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don't believe in it at all. - Chomsky
