Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.

The only real valuable thing is intuition.

The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true science.

The pursuit of truth and beauty is a sphere of activity in which we are permitted to remain children all our lives.

Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.

It always seems impossible until it's done.

To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.

Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
