I cannot live without books.

Science is a rising force, It is creating a new world about us. It needs to be watched and pressed into service, and in any case, it would be courting disaster to ignore it.

Seek knowledge from the cradle to the grave.

The reading of all good books is like conversation with the finest men of past centuries.

Dare to think for yourself.

Suddenly degrees aren't worth anything. Isn't that true? When I was a student, if you had a degree, you had a job. If you didn't have a job it's because you didn't want one. And I didn't want one, frankly.

A witty saying proves nothing.

Investigate, educate and organize.

Education is the kindling of a flame, not the filling of a vessel.

The idea is to try to give all the information to help others to judge the value of your contribution; not just the information that leads to judgment in one particular direction or another.

Men are born ignorant, not stupid. They are made stupid by education.

It is better to know how to learn than to know.

The task of a writer is not to solve the problem but to state the problem correctly.

Those who fail to learn the lessons of history are doomed to repeat them.

Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking.

As we acquire more knowledge, things do not become more comprehensible but more mysterious.

I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying.

Books are as useful to a stupid person as a mirror is useful to a blind person.

If I could explain it to the average person, I wouldn't have been worth the Nobel Prize.

There is one quality which one must possess to win, and that is definiteness of purpose, the knowledge of what one wants, and a burning desire to possess it.

I am a part of everything that I have read.
