| | <option>''"Nobitchespedia"''</option> |
| |9=It is a good thing for an uneducated man to read books of quotations.
| | |
| |10=Never, never, never believe any war will be smooth and easy, or that anyone who embarks on the strange voyage can measure the tides and hurricanes he will encounter. The statesman who yields to war fever must realise that once the signal is given, he is no longer the master of policy but the slave of unforeseeable and uncontrollable events.

| |11=Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.

| |

| |

| |
| |17=You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.

| |
| |34=Damaged people are dangerous. They know they can survive.
| |
| |35=I am just a child who has never grown up. I still keep asking these 'how' and 'why' questions. Occasionally, I find an answer.
| |
| |36=Look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see, and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious.
| |
| |37=My goal is simple. It is a complete understanding of the universe, why it is as it is and why it exists at all.
| |
| |38=We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the Universe. That makes us something very special.

| |40=Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.
| |
| |41=The greatest education in the world is watching the masters at work.

| |
| |46=Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.
| |
| |47=If you lose hope, somehow you lose the vitality that keeps life moving, you lose that courage to be, that quality that helps you go on in spite of it all. And so today I still have a dream.
| |
| |48=Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.

| |
| |51=And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.
| |
| |52=Nearly all men can withstand adversity; if you want to test a man's character, give him power.
| |
| |53=I know war as few other men now living know it, and nothing to me is more revolting. I have long advocated its complete abolition, as its very destructiveness on both friend and foe has rendered it useless as a means of settling international disputes.
| |
| |54=The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.
| |
| |55=I've had a perfectly wonderful evening. But this wasn't it.
| |
| |56=Yesterday I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got in my pajamas I don't know.
| |
| |57=The main thing is always to have a plan; if it is not the best plan, it is better than no plan at all.

| |
| |60=I can calculate the motion of heavenly bodies, but not the madness of people.
| |
| |61=If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.
| |
| |62=I learned long ago that being Lewis Carroll was infinitely more exciting than being Alice.
| |
| |63=Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.
| |
| |64=Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools because they have to say something.
| |
| |65=Those who know how to win are more numerous than those who know how to make proper use of their victories.
| |
| |66=Each one of us has a fire in our hearts for something. It's our goal in life to find it and keep it lit.
| |
| |67=The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.
| |
| |68=Nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, difficulty… I have never in my life envied a human being who led an easy life. I have envied a great many people who led difficult lives and led them well.
| |
| |69=I couldn't settle in Italy. It was like living in a foreign country.
| |
| |70=The hardest thing to learn in life is which bridge to cross and which to burn.
| |
| |71=…knowledge is prerequisite to survival.
| |
| |72=Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.
| |
| |73=The truth may be puzzling. It may take some work to grapple with. It may be counterintuitive. It may contradict deeply held prejudices. It may not be consonant with what we desperately want to be true. But our preferences do not determine what's true.
| |
| |74=We make our world significant by the courage of our questions and by the depth of our answers.
| |
| |75=It is always easy to begin a war, but very difficult to stop one, since its beginning and end are not under the control of the same man.
| |
| |76=Don't worry about the world coming to an end today: It's already tomorrow in Australia.
| |
| |77=They couldn't shoot an elephant at this distance.
| |
| |78=Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and others have greatness thrust upon them.
| |
| |79=When we are born we cry that we are come to this great stage of fools.
| |
| |80=Beware of false knowledge; it is more dangerous than ignorance.
| |
| |81=My advice to you is to get married: If you find a good wife, you'll be happy; if not, you'll become a philosopher.
| |

| |
| |83=I don’t care that they stole my idea… I care that they don’t have any of their own.
| |
| |84=Things do not change; we change.
| |
| |85=Be careful about reading health books: You may die of a misprint.
| |
| |86=We are part of this universe; we are in this universe, but perhaps more important than both of those facts, is that the universe is in us.

| |
| |94=When you live in the past, with its mistakes and regrets, it is hard. I am not there. My name is not I WAS.
