I have never belonged wholeheartedly to country or State, to my circle of friends or even to my own family... Such isolation is sometimes bitter, but I do not regret being cut off from the understanding and sympathy of other men. I lose something by it,to be sure, but I am compensated for it in being rendered independent of the customs, opinions and prejudices of others, and am not tempted to rest my peace of mind upon such shifting foundations.

He who has never been deceived by a lie does not know the meaning of bliss.

The problems that exist in this world can not be solved by the level of thinking that created them.

Thinking is to man what flying is to birds. Don’t follow the example of a chicken when you could be a lark.

If I had 20 days to solve a problem, I would take 19 days to define it

In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity.

Our separation from each other is an optical illusion.
