"Adversity introduces a man to himself...." - Quote by Albert Einstein

“Education is only a ladder to gather fruit from the tree of knowledge, not the fruit itself”

“The measure of intelligence is the ability to change.”

“The individual who has experienced solitude will not easily become a victim of mass suggestion.”

“He that would be a great man must learn to turn every accident to some advantage.”

“If you have an enemy, then learn and know your enemy, don't just be mad at him or her.”

“There are few misfortunes in this world that you cannot turn into a personal trimuph if you have the iron will and the neccessary skill.”

“There is only this now. It does not come from anywhere; it is not going anywhere. It is not permanent, but it is not impermanent. Though moving, it is always still. When we try to catch it, it seems to run away, and yet it is always here and there is no escape from it. And when we turn around to find the self which knows this moment, we find that it has vanished like the past.”

“Do you have any control over being conscious? Do you know how you will?”

“The only important thing is to follow nature. A tiger should be a good tiger; a tree, a good tree. So people should be people. But to know what people are, one must follow nature and go alone, admitting the importance of the unexpected. Still, nothing is possible without love. . . . For love puts one in a mood to risk everything, and not to withhold important elements.”
