"The greatest inventions are those inquiries which..." - Quote by Benjamin Franklin

“The tongue offends and the ears get the cuffing”

“One day is worth a thousand tomorrows.”

“When befriended, remember it; when you befriend, forget it.”

“I have become an obstinate heretic in the eyes of my colleagues. Momentary success carries more power of conviction than reflections upon principles.”

“I believe that I have really found the relationship between gravitation and electricity, assuming that the Miller experiments are based on a fundamental error. Otherwise, the whole relativity theory collapses like a house of cards.”

“To argue that the gaps in knowledge which confront the seeker must be filled, not by patient inquiry, but by intuition or revelation, is simply to give ignorance a gratuitous and preposterous dignity.”

“The spinning wheel is itself an exquisite piece of machinery. My head daily bows in reverence to its unknown inventor.”

“I try not to invent things that people don't need.”

“And yet the true creator is necessity, which is the mother of invention.”
