"When a man sits with a pretty girl for an hour, it seems like a minute. But let him sit on a hot stove for a minute and it's longer than any hour. That's relativity."

"The value of a college education is not the learning of many facts but the training of the mind to think."

"Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving."

"If A is success in life, then A = x + y + z. Work is x, play is y and z is keeping your mouth shut."

"I never think of the future. It comes soon enough."
