I haven't failed, I have just found 10,000 ways which don't work - Me
Reminds me of Thomas Edison. It took him 1001 attempts to invent a light bulb when asked about his failures he said "I didn't fail I just invented 1000 ways not to invent an incandescent light bulb."
Anyway I've got a couple a large chunk of which are belonging to Mr A. Einstein.
Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius - Albert Einstein - and a lot of courage -- to move in the opposite direction. (I Think this applies a fair bit to anything in life).
Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one. - Albert Einstein
A person starts to live when he can live outside himself. - A.E
The only real valuable thing is intuition. - A.E
Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new. - A.E - (So true)
Great spirits have often encountered violent opposition from weak minds. - A.E
The most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is comprehensible. - A.E
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. - A.E - (Hard to understand but if you can get your head around it it is relevant to the realm of metaphysics.)
The release of atom power has changed everything except our way of thinking...the solution to this problem lies in the heart of mankind. If only I had known, I should have become a watchmaker. - A.E - To all those people out there who wonder why with the amazing feats possible with psionics people merely "bop each other over the head with it".
The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed. - A.E - Most appropriate given the circumstances.
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. - A.E - As Above most appropriate.
You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat. - A.E - No real applicable meaning I just find it rather amusing.
Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts. - No known Writer but it is on a sign at Einstein's Princeton Office - In other words there are some things that can't be explained that are still real and applicable while there are some things that can be explained which really have no purpose.
Aerodynamically, the bumble bee shouldn't be able to fly, but the bumble bee doesn't know it so it goes on flying anyway. - Mary Kay Ash
Your theory is crazy, but it's not crazy enough to be true. - Niels Bohr
Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood. - Marie Curie
A fact is a simple statement that everyone believes. It is innocent, unless found guilty. A hypothesis is a novel suggestion that no one wants to believe. It is guilty, until found effective. - Edward Teller
Well that's all from me (P.S 40-50% percent is from memory the rest i half knew the quote and looked it's phrasing up).
