Science is not a matter of opinion; there is only one truth.

A man paints with his brains and not with his hands - Michelangelo

A great artist is always before his time or behind it - George Edward

The job of the artist is always to deepen the mystery - Francis Bacon

Land really is the best art - Andy Warhol

"Art is not what you see but what others make you see"

-French Artist, Edgar Degas

The best scientists themselves are usually artists - Einstein

Normal is not something to aspire to, it's something to get away from - Jodie Foster

Great minds discuss ideas; Average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people - Eleanor Roosevelt

People have opinions about art, whereas science is a bit more concrete.

“All art should become science and all science art,” declared the German Romantic poet Friedrich Schlegel

Einstein once declared, "Creativity is the residue of time wasted."

When people asked Leonardo da Vinci the secret of his creative and inventing genius, he replied “Saper Vedere,” - to know how to see.

Saper vedere, Sapio audacter …sapere aude
To see is to know – dare to know …dare to be wise-think boldly!

Words have more influence when tied to an identity.

Ideas are not set in stone. When exposed to thoughtful people, they morph and adapt into their most potent form.

"An artist sells what he paints. A painter paints what he sells."- Pablo Picasso

John Cleese - “Creativity is not a talent. It is a way of operating.”

Creativity is combining and connecting things:

Successful scientists have often been people with wide interests. Their originality may have derived from their diverse knowledge … Originality often consists in linking up ideas whose connection was not previously suspected - Beveridge

Only when they have exhausted all the food , water and air , they will know they cannot eat money!

Oftentimes the right moment to learn the most is when you’ve done something stupid, not necessarily when you’ve triumphed.

An optimist would say the glass is half full, while a pessimist would say it is half empty. I have a third point of view. For me the glass is always full - half with water and half with air .

Accept no one's definition of your life: define yourself

One of the truest tests of integrity is its blunt refusal to be compromised. -Chinua Achebe, writer and professor (16 Nov 1930-2013)

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on October 22, 2015 at 7:58am: Gandhi's Sarcasm:
When Mahatma Gandhi was studying law at the University College of London, a white professor, whose last name was Peters, disliked him intensely and always displayed prejudice and animosity towards him.
Also, because Gandhi never lowered his head when addressing him as he expected, there were always "arguments" and confrontations.

One day, Mr. Peters was having lunch at the dining room of the University, and Gandhi came along with his tray and sat next to the professor. The professor said, "Mr Gandhi, you do not understand. A pig and a bird do not sit together to eat." Gandhi looked at him as a parent would a rude child and calmly replied, "You do not worry professor. I'll fly away," and he went and sat at another table.

Mr. Peters, reddened with rage, decided to take revenge on the next test paper, but Gandhi responded brilliantly to all questions. Mr. Peters, unhappy and frustrated, asked him the following question. "Mr Gandhi, if you were walking down the street and found a package, and within was a bag of wisdom and another bag with a lot of money, which one would you take?" Without hesitating, Gandhi responded, "The one with the money, of course."
Mr. Peters, smiling sarcastically said, "I, in your place, would have taken the wisdom, don't you think?" Gandhi shrugged indifferently and responded, "Each one takes what he doesn't have."

Mr. Peters, by this time was fit to be tied. So great was his anger that he wrote on Gandhi's exam sheet the word "idiot" and gave it to Gandhi. Gandhi took the exam sheet and sat down at his desk, trying very hard to remain calm while he contemplated his next move. A few minutes later, Gandhi got up, went to the professor and said to him in a dignified but sarcastically polite tone, "Mr. Peters, you signed the sheet, but you did not give me the grade."

MP: "Mr. Churchill, must you fall asleep while I'm speaking?"
Churchill: "No, it's purely voluntary."

The Americans always find the right decision. After they try all the rest.

"Tact is the ability to tell someone to go to hell in such a way that they look forward for the trip."

Woman: You're drunk. And what's more, you're disgustingly drunk.
Churchill: You're ugly. And what's more, you're disgustingly ugly. But when I wake up, I'll be sober, and you'll still be ugly.
If you kill the murderer, the quantity of murderers will not change.
Lady Astor: If I was your wife, sir, I would poison your coffee.
Churchill: If I was your husband, I would drink it.
The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.

Winston Churchill was visiting another country. The first evening there, at the state dinner, he pointed to the chicken entree and said, "May I have some breast?"
The hostess raised her eyebrows and curtly responded, "Mr. Churchill, in this country we ask for white meat or dark meat."
"My apologies, Madam, I was not aware of your customs."
The following day, a thank you gift was delivered to the party's hostess with a large orchid. The following was written on the note: "I would be obliged if you would pin this on your white meat."
