Results from Cole's Quotables:

Chastity is a monkish and evangelical superstition, a greater foe to natural temperance even than unintellectual sensuality; it strikes at the root of all domestic happiness, and consigns more than half of the human race to misery.: Shelley
All exact science is dominated by the idea of approximation.: Bertrand Russell (1872 - 1970)
Old friends become bitter enemies on a sudden for toys and small offenses.: Robert Burton (1577 - 1640)
When one door closes another door opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us.: Alexander Graham Bell (1847 - 1922)
The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity.: Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955)
Never regard study as a duty, but as the enviable opportunity to learn to know the liberating influence of beauty in the realm of the spirit for your own personal joy and to the profit of the community to which your later work belongs.: Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955)
A human being is part of a whole, called by us the Universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest--a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.: Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955)
The point is to develop the childlike inclination for play and the childlike desire for recognition and to guide the child over to important fields for society. Such a school demands from the teacher that he be a kind of artist in his province.: Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955), Out of My Later Years
Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character.: Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955)
The ideals which have always shone before me and filled me with the joy of living are goodness, beauty, and truth. To make a goal of comfort or happiness has never appealed to me; a system of ethics built on this basis would be sufficient only for a herd of cattle.: Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955)
