Your Quote of the Week
Don't say you don't have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michaelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein.
H. Jackson Brown(Via Dietz Smith.)
I would argue that Einstein seemed to have found a way to stretch his days out a little.
None of whom faced a child who remembers a half hour before school starts that she was supposed to bring in [fill in the blank today]. Most of the great minds or doers seemed to have other people who took care of the timesuckers like grocery shopping and dishwashing.
Actually, Mother Theresa had thousands of illegitimate children in Calcutta. It's one of the church's undiscussable scandals.
Mother Theresa also had a few assistants. Me, I don't have any assistants. Yet, I've managed to create and maintain FOUR worlds today and everyday (three small children, one husband).
Michelangelo. No "a".
Allison: we can submit you for canonization, but you'd have to be Catholic to be eligible. I'm sure the Vatican has an online form for that kind of thing.
On the other hand, if you could budget some time to murder a bunch of Israelis, I could just about guarantee you'll receive the Nobel Peace Prize. Do NOT (if you're interested) combat or depose any murderous dictators with ties to Old Europe, though. That kind of behavior is highly frowned-upon by the committee.
Einstein didn't have to work a split shift tonight.
Stephen Hawkings has said that if he had become disabled and forced to think all the time, he doubts he ever would have come up with any of the theories he has come up with.
Einstein was much smarter then I am. It takes me longer.
Smarter on physics, stupider on geopolitics. I've never heard anything quite so ridiculous as his statement that "one cannot simultaneously prepare for, and prevent, war."
Of course, Sun Tzu was probably a moron on the subject of physics. And we know that Barbra Streisand has nothing to contribute outside of the topic of singing.
