Pithy sayings - 4

Love is not blind -- it simply enables one to see things others fail to see.

The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not "Eureka!" (I found it!) but "That's funny..."

We demand rigidly defined areas of doubt and uncertainty.

"Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow; it empties today of its strength." - Corrie Ten Boom

Neither a lofty degree of intelligence nor imagination nor both together go to the making of genius. Love, love, love, that is the soul of genius.

Research is what I'm doing when I don't know what I'm doing.

"When a train goes through a tunnel and it gets dark, you don't throw away the ticket and jump off. You sit still and trust the engineer." - Corrie Ten Boom

When dealing with the insane, the best method is to pretend to be sane.

The only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen at once.

Love feels no burden, thinks nothing of trouble and attempts what is above its strength.
