“Optimists have a divine aptitude to create their own realities. This mentality is what drives us to dig through the depths of our own minds and find out what we can create with ourselves. The possibilities of what we can accomplish with our minds are endless. Don’t put this ability to waste.” — Anthony Fizer

“Realists may say that The Optimists don’t see the world the way it really is, but Optimists say that Realists don’t see the world the way it can optimally be.” — Anthony Fizer

“I have removed the phrase “I shouldn’t” from my vocabulary and replaced it with “It’s not a priority” after deliberately taking in to consideration that which I am hesitant to do.” — Anthony Fizer

“Knowledge is basically useless without action.”

“The biggest mistake you can make is not making one.”

“You get in the biggest fights with the people you care about the most, because they are the relationships you’re willing to fight for.”

What You'll Wish You'd Known -



I’ll start by telling you something you don’t have to know in high school: what you want to do with your life. People are always asking you this, so you think you’re supposed to have an answer. But adults ask this mainly as a conversation starter. They want to know what sort of person you are, and this question is just to get you talking. They ask it the way you might poke a hermit crab in a tide pool, to see what it does.

“Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts.”
—Albert Einstein” — Sign hanging in Einstein’s office at Princeton.

“A human being is a part of a whole, called by us “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 to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”
—Albert Einstein”

“…one of the strongest motives that lead men to art and science is escape from everyday life with its painful crudity and hopeless dreariness, from the fetters of one’s own ever-shifting desires. A finely tempered nature longs to escape from the personal life into the world of objective perception and thought.”
—Albert Einstein”

“One had to cram all this stuff into one’s mind for the examinations, whether one liked it or not. This coercion had such a deterring effect on me that, after I had passed the final examination, I found the consideration of any scientific problems distasteful to me for an entire year.”
—Albert Einstein”

“The further the spiritual evolution of mankind advances, the more certain it seems to me that the path to genuine religiosity does not lie through the fear of life, and the fear of death, and blind faith, but through striving after rational knowledge.”
—Albert Einstein”

“The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.”
—Albert Einstein”

“My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind.”
—Albert Einstein”
