There is a popular topic at twitter, #quotes. The first one to catch the eye here is by Joe Namath. @TomMooneyADP ” If you aren’t going all the way, why go at all? – Joe Namath. Now, Joe Willie was a good quarterback, but he is nobody to take life instruction from. When Mr. Namath was in his prime, PG was 13 years old. Joe Namath was said to be a bad influence on young people. When you are 13 years old, bad influences are important.
For some reason, quotes from Albert Einstein are popular.
@ptarkkonen “The important thing is not to stop questioning.”
@JohnnyFocal “Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.”
@tino503 “The difference between genius and stupidity is; genius has its limits.”
@_motivatedmind A perfection of means, and confusion of aims, seems to be our main problem.
The only one, of the four quotes, to be listed in wikiquotes is the first. “The important thing is not to stop questioning; curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when contemplating the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of the mystery every day. The important thing is not to stop questioning; never lose a holy curiosity.” Quoted in LIFE magazine (2 May 1955)
There is a questionable quote about mistakes.” I made one great mistake in my life—when I signed that letter to President Roosevelt recommending that atom bombs be made; but there was some justification—the danger that the Germans would make them!” – Written by Linus Pauling in his diary after a conversation with Einstein (16 November 1954). Quoted in The New Quotable Einstein by Alice Calaprice (2005), p. 175. The quote was copied directly from Pauling’s diary. On June 23, 1946, the New York Times Magazine quoted Dr, Einstein in an article, “The Real Problem is in the Hearts of Man.” “A new type of thinking is essential if mankind is to survive and move toward higher levels. “
Before you complain about negative attitude, it should be noted that PG did agree with at least one quote. ‏@ruhanirabin “Courage does not always roar. Sometimes it takes courage to remain silent.” Often it takes more courage to listen than to speak. Many so called tough men would do well to shut up.
This was written like Kurt Vonnegut.
