“Intellectual growth should commence at birth and cease only at death”
Albert Einstein
“From his cradle to his grave a man never does a single thing which has any first and foremost object but one - to secure peace of mind, spiritual comfort, for himself.”
Mark Twain
“Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.”
Mahatma Gandhi
“I am convinced that it is not the fear of death, of our lives ending that haunts our sleep so much as the fear... that as far as the world is concerned, we might as well never have lived.”
Harold Kushner
“I think, at a child's birth, if a mother could ask a fairy godmother to endow it with the most useful gift, that gift would be curiosity.”
Eleanor Roosevelt
“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.”
“Life must be lived and curiosity kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life.”
