"Not everything that counts can be counted, and not
everything that can be counted counts."
"When you're screwing up and nobody's saying anything to you
anymore, that means they've given up on you."
"Intelligence is not a privilege, it's a gift. And you use it
for the good of mankind."
"The key to immortality is first living a life worth
remembering."
"I have long since come to believe that people never mean
half of what they say, and that it is best to disregard their
talk and judge only their actions."
"Me I'm dishonest, and a dishonest man you can always trust
to be dishonest. Honestly it's the honest ones you have to watch
out for, you never can predict if they're going to do something
incredibly stupid."
"You know how people become specialists? They obsess about
the material over and over again until it becomes lodged in
their brains."
"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a harder
battle."
"Forgive many things in others; nothing in yourself."
"It is often easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for
permission."
"Your effort to remain what you are is what limits you."
"The worst part of achieving success is trying to find
someone who is happy for you."
"FORTRAN is not a flower but a weed -- it is hardy,
occasionally blooms, and grows in every computer."
"Though dreams can be deceiving like faces are to hearts,
they serve for sweet relieving when fantasy and reality lie too
far apart."
"Take a chance! All life is a chance. The man who goes
furthest is generally the one who is willing to do and
dare."
"Love is a condition in which the happiness of another person
is essential to your own."
"No matter how busy you are, you must take time to make the
other person feel important."
"Nobody deserves your tears, but whoever deserves them will
not make you cry."
"There is no cosmetic for beauty like happiness."
"At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark
from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep
gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us."
"Everytime you spend money, you're casting a vote for the
kind of world you want."
"Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but
sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy."
"The best portion of a good man's life, his little, nameless,
unremembered acts of kindness and love."
"The greater your capacity to love, the greater your capacity
to feel the pain."
"Love means exposing yourself to the pain of being hurt,
deeply hurt by someone you trust."
"It takes less time to do a thing right than it does to
explain why you did it wrong."
"Time has a wonderful way of showing us what really
matters."
"The moments of happiness we enjoy take us by surprise. It is
not that we seize them, but that they seize us."
"Future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their
dreams."
"If you're not working on technologies that are going to
fail, you're not pushing the boundaries enough. Even if a
technology failed ... you'll be able to put it in your back
pocket and use it for some other purpose."
"It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved
for what you are not."
"We hate some persons because we do not know them; and we
will not know them because we hate them."
"Hate no one; hate their vices, not themselves."
"Always remember others may hate you but those who hate you
don't win unless you hate them. And then you destroy
yourself."
"To do great work, you have to have a pure mind. You can
think only about the mathematics. Everything else is human
weakness. The ideal scientist does science and cares about
nothing else, he wants to live this ideal"
"Careful with fire," is good advice, we know. "Careful with
words," is ten times doubly so. Thoughts unexpressed may
sometimes fall back dead; But God himself can't kill them when
they're said.
"A hundred times every day, I remind myself that my inner and
outer life depends on the labors of other men, living and dead,
and that I must exert myself in order to give in the measure as
I have received and am still receiving."
"It is possible to make no mistakes and still lose; that's
not a weakness, that's life."
"The happiest people don't worry too much about whether life
is fair or not, they just get on with it."
"We must strive to be more than what we are...It does not
matter that we will never reach our ultimate goal. The effort
yields its own rewards."
"Never allow someone to be your priority, when you're nothing
more than an option!"
"The secret source of humor itself is not joy but
sorrow. There is no humor in heaven."
"It's never a mistake to care for someone. That's always a
good thing, right?"
"If you tell the truth you don't have to remember anything."
"All man's miseries derive from not being able to sit in a
room alone."
"Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to
anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering."
Whatever you are, be a good one.
Do we always gotta cry?
"Dum loquimur fugerit invida aetas. Carpe diem quam minimum
credula postero."
"There is only one cause of unhappiness: the false beliefs
you have in your head, beliefs so widespread, so commonly held,
that it never occurs to you to question them."
"The walls we build around us to keep sadness out also keeps
out the joy."
"Anger, tears and sadness are only for those who have given
up"
"Work spares us from three evils: boredom, vice, and
need"

less effective to the user."

differences between their ways and yours."
"Your friend is the man who knows all about you, and still
likes you."
"It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with
problems longer."
"There is no pain so great as the memory of joy in present
grief."
"It is better to suffer wrong than to do it, and happier to
be sometimes cheated than not to trust."
"He who is devoid of the power to forgive, is devoid of the
power to love."
"Home is behind, the world ahead,
"Only the really plain people know about love - the very
fascinating ones try so hard to create an impression that they
soon exhaust their talents."
"A man is what he thinks about all day long."
"What I can see, I cannot reach. What I can reach, I cannot
touch. What I can touch, I cannot have. And what I have, means
nothing to me at all."
"Reality is only something we believe in strongly."
"Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it,
doesn't go away."
"Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of
small things brought together."
"We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful what we
pretend to be."
"'Tis the most tender part of love, each other to forgive."
"Thinking you need rest makes you restless. Thinking you have
to work hard makes you tired. Thinking you have worked hard
brings self-pity."
"There's a fine line between fishing and just standing on the
shore like an idiot. "
"The stupid neither forgive nor forget; the naive forgive
and forget; the wise forgive but do not forget."
"We have no words for speaking of wisdom to the stupid. He
who understands the wise is wise already."
"Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex,
and more violent. It takes a touch of genius -- and a lot of
courage -- to move in the opposite direction."
"From the ashes, a fire will be woken. A light from the
darkness shall spring. Renewed shall be blade that was
broken. The crownless again shall be king."
"He who angers you conquers you."
"Don't hold to anger, hurt or pain. They steal your energy
and keep you from love."

finally feel it."
"When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often
we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one
which has been opened for us."
"The greatest happiness of life it the conviction that we are
loved - loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of
ourselves."
