"Only a life lived for others is a life worth while."

"When I examine myself and my methods of thought, I come to the conclusion that the gift of fantasy has meant more to me than my talent for absorbing positive knowledge."

"The only real valuable thing is intuition."

"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all 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."

"Try not to become a man of success but rather to become a man of value." "Teaching should be such that what is offered is perceived as a valuable gift and not as a hard duty ."

"It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge ."

"The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely t o comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity."

"I have no particular talent. I am merely inquisitive."

"All religions, arts and sciences are branches of the same tree. All these aspirations are directed toward ennobling man's life, lifting it from the sphere of mere physical existence and leading the individual towards freedom."

"When I examine myself and my methods of thought, I come to the conclusion that the gift of fantasy has meant more to me than my talent for absorbing positive knowledge."

The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources." "The only source of knowledge is experience"

"Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better."

"Imagination is more important than knowledge."

"All religions, arts and sciences are branches of the same tree."

"All religions, arts and sciences are branches of the same tree." "A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new."
