Albert Einstein says: 
101-    “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.”

102-    “We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library, whose walls are covered to the ceiling with books in many different languages. The child knows that someone must have written those books. It does not know who or how. It does not understand the the languages in which they are written. The child notes a definite plan in the arrangement of the books, a mysterious order, which it does not comprehend but only dimly suspects.”
103-    “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.”

104-    “Past is dead
Future is uncertain;
Present is all you have,
So eat, drink and live merry.”

105-    “You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else.”

106-    “I see my life in terms of music.”

107-    “The bigotry of the nonbeliever is for me nearly as funny as the bigotry of the believer.”

108-    “The only source of knowledge is experience.”

109-    “The only thing that you absolutely have to know, is the location of the library.”

110-    “One cannot alter a condition with the same mind set that created it in the first place.”

111-    “Information is not knowledge.”

112-    “My passionate sense of social justice and social responsibility has always contrasted oddly with my pronounced lack of need for direct contact with other human beings and human communities. I am truly a 'lone traveler' and have never belonged to my country, my home, my friends, or even my immediate family, with my whole heart; in the face of all these ties, I have never lost a sense of distance and a need for solitude… ”

113-    “I don't try to imagine a personal God; it suffices to stand in awe at the structure of the world, insofar as it allows our inadequate senses to appreciate it.”

114-    “Possessions, outward success, publicity, luxury - to me these have always been contemptible. I believe that a simple and unassuming manner of life is best for everyone, best for both the body and the mind.”

115-    “Life is like riding a bicycle - in order to keep your balance, you must keep moving.”

116-    “I'm not an atheist and I don't think I can call myself a pantheist. We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in many different languages. The child knows someone must have written those books. It does not know how. It does not understand the languages in which they are written. The child dimly suspects a mysterious order in the arrangement of the books but doesn't know what it is. That, it seems to me, is the attitude of even the most intelligent human being toward God. We see a universe marvelously arranged and obeying certain laws, but only dimly understand these laws. Our limited minds cannot grasp the mysterious force that moves the constellations.”

117-    “No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right; a single experiment can prove me wrong.”

118-    “A foolish faith in authority is the worst enemy of truth.”

119-    “It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder.”

120-    “Everything that is really great and inspiring is created by the individual who can labor in freedom.”
