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 most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is comprehensible.

Falling in love is not at all the most stupid thing that people do — but gravitation cannot be held responsible for it.

I am not only a pacifist but a militant pacifist. I am willing to fight for peace. Nothing will end war unless the people themselves refuse to go to war.

Never memorize what you can look up in books.

I do not know with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.

I am absolutely convinced that no wealth in the world can help humanity forward, even in the hands of the most devoted worker in this cause. The example of great and pure characters is the only thing that can produce fine ideas and noble deeds. Money only appeals to selfishness and always tempts its owners irresistibly to abuse it.
Can anyone imagine Moses, Jesus, or Gandhi armed with the money-bags of Carnegie?

And some evidence of ducky above being a mother:
