"Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value."

"I speak to everyone in the same way, whether he is the garbage man or the president of the university."

"If a cluttered desk is a sign of a cluttered mind, of what, then, is an empty desk a sign?"

"In scientific thinking are always present elements of poetry. Science and music requires a thought homogeneous."
