Albert Einstein says: 
161-    “Failing isn't bad when you learn what not to do.”

162-    “The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and 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.”

163-    “If you don’t have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over?”

164-    “To sense that behind anything that can be experienced there is a something that our mind cannot grasp and whose beauty and sublimity reaches us only indirectly and as a feeble reflection, this is religiousness. In this sense I am religious.”

165-    “Since the mathematicians have invaded the theory of relativity I do not understand it myself any more.”

166-    “Your imagination is your preview of life’s coming attractions.”

167-    “Striving for social justice is the most valuable thing to do in life.”

168-    “It is a miracle that curiosity survives formal education.”

169-    “He who joyfully marches to music rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action. It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder.”

170-    “It is our American habit if we find the foundations of our educational structure unsatisfactory to add another story or wing.”

171-    “Anyone who doesn't take truth seriously in small matters cannot be trusted in large ones either.”

172-    “We never cease to stand like curious children before the great mystery into which we are born.”

173-    “I do not believe in the immortality of the individual, and I consider ethics to be an exclusively human concern without any superhuman authority behind it.”

174-    “The fear of death is the most unjustified of all fears, for there's no risk of accident for someone who's dead.”

175-    “Any society which does not insist upon respect for all life must necessarily decay.”

176-    “The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources”

177-    “If the bee disappeared off the face of the earth, man would only have four years left to live.”

178-    “People love chopping wood. In this activity one immediately sees results.”

179-    “For an idea that does not first seem insane, there is no hope.”

180-    “In the view of such harmony in the cosmos which I, with my limited human mind, am able to recognize, there are yet people who says there is no God. But what makes me really angry is that they quote me for support of such views. (The Expanded Quotable Einstein, Princeton University, page 214)”
