thinking we used when we created them."
"A person who never made a mistake never tried
anything new."

preparation for the future is to live as if there

upon this earth."
"I believe that a simple and unassuming manner
of life is best for everyone, best for both the
body and the mind."
"One should guard against preaching to young

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."
"Few people are capable of expressing with

prejudices of their social environment. Most
people are even incapable of forming such
opinions."
"Pure mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of
logical ideas."
"Most teachers waste their time by asking
questions that are intended to discover what a
pupil does not know, whereas the true art of
questioning has for its purpose to discover what
the pupil knows or is capable of knowing."

comes, and I may try to express it in words

"A human being is part of a whole, called by us
the 'Universe,' a part limited in time and space.
He experiences himself, his thoughts and
feelings, as something separated from the rest—
a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness.
This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting
us to our personal desires and to affection for a
few persons nearest us."
"I think and think for months and years. Ninety-
nine times, the conclusion is false. The
hundredth time I am right."
"The value of a man should be seen in what he
gives and not in what he is able to receive."
