The more I learn, the more I realize how much I don't know.

The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.

I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious.

The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existence.

Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.

The only way to do great work is to love what you do.

If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or things.

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

The mind is everything. What you think you become.

The best way to predict the future is to create it.

Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.

The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not 'Eureka!' but 'That's funny...'

The good thing about science is that it's true whether or not you believe in it.

An expert is a person who has made all the mistakes that can be made in a very narrow field.

The art of being wise is the art of knowing what to overlook.

The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision.

It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts.

The greatest obstacle to discovery is not ignorance, but the illusion of knowledge.

The scientist is not a person who gives the right answers, but one who asks the right questions.
