8. “If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough.”
9. “It’s not that I’m so smart, it’s just that I stay with problems longer.”
10. “Not everything that counts can be counted; and not everything that can be counted counts.”
11. “There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.”
12. “The only real valuable thing is intuition.”
13. “Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited, Imagination encircles the world ”
14. “The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science.”

18. “Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school.”
19. “No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.”

21. “Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.”
22. “Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I’m not sure about the the universe.”
23. “When you sit with a nice girl for two hours, it seems like two minutes. When you sit on a hot stove for two minutes, it seems like two hours. That’s relativity.”
24. “If the facts don’t fit the theory, change the facts.”
25. “A question that sometimes drives me hazy: am I or are the others crazy?”
26. “A table, a chair, a bowl of fruit and a violin; what else does a man need to be happy?”
27. “Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen.”
28. “Few are those who see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts.”
29. “Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.”
30. “Intellectuals solve problems, geniuses prevent them.”

“Do not worry about your difficulties in mathematics, I can assure you that mine are still greater.”
Have a Happy Sunday and a great weekend ahead 🙂

Nice quotes, really very good! thx for sharing.
Great blog post. Being allergic to mathematics, myself, I was surprised to find so many inspiring quotes in the mix!
Here are my faves:
1. “The value of a man should be seen in what he gives and not in what he is able to receive.”
2. “Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value.”
The second one really resonates with me. Though, I may struggle being a man of value when I don’t have the required appendage. I shall instead strive to be a wo(man) of value 😉
A few repeats there, and on #26, I can think of a few, like a slab of ribs and a 60″ TV with a good game on.
So you mean 29 quotes, yay I’m lost yet inspired… 🙂
