A man sits with a pretty girl for an hour and it seems shorter than a minute. But tell that same man to sit on a hot stove for a minute, it is longer than any hour. That's relativity.
Albert Einstein quotes
A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death.

Albert Einstein quotes
The distinction between the past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.
Albert Einstein quotes
I have little patience with scientists who take a board of wood, look for its thinnest part, and drill a great number of holes where drilling is easy.
Henry Ford quotes
Don't find fault, find a remedy.
Henry Ford quotes
A business absolutely devoted to service will have only one worry about profits. They will be embarrassingly large.
Henry Ford quotes
Speculation is only a word covering the making of money out of the manipulation of prices, instead of supplying goods and services.
Henry Ford quotes
The object of living is work, experience, and happiness. There is joy in work. All that money can do is buy us someone else's work in exchange for our own. There is no happiness except in the realization that we have accomplished something.
Henry Ford quotes
One of the greatest discoveries a man makes, one of his great surprises, is to find he can do what he was afraid he couldn't do.
Anne Frank quotes
Laziness may appear attractive but work gives satisfaction.
Anne Frank quotes
The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature. As long as this exists, and it certainly always will, I know that then there will always be comfort for every sorrow, whatever the circumstances may be. And I firmly believe that nature brings solace in all troubles.
Anne Frank quotes
And finally I twist my heart round again, so that the bad is on the outside and the good is on the inside, and keep on trying to find a way of becoming what I would so like to be, and could be, if there weren't any other people living in the world.
Thomas Frank quotes
Soft words are hard arguments.
Groucho Marx quotes

D.H Lawrence quotes
Be still when you have nothing to say; when genuine passion moves you, say what you've got to say, and say it hot.
D.H Lawrence quotes
It is a fine thing to establish one's own religion in one's heart, not to be dependent on tradition and second-hand ideals. Life will seem to you, later, not a lesser, but a greater thing.
D.H Lawrence quotes
Towns oftener swamp one than carry one out onto the big ocean of life.
Robert E. Lee quotes
The education of a man is never complete until he dies.
